About this campaign
For this Giving Tuesday, the Boston K Men designed a new long sleeve t-shirt to celebrate the many aces we've posted K signs for since 1998.
The best part? All proceeds go directly to The BASE thanks to the generosity of the Bleacher Bar and the Lyons Group.
So give a unique holiday gift to your loved ones and give back to our community!
Why The BASE?
The BASE is an urban academy that uses the power of sports to engage youth in a positive, success-driven culture. It provides high-quality sports training and competition, along with programs for college access, career development, health and wellness, and STEM learning.
The BASE develops and elevates urban talent and builds pathways to success for local student-athletes.
Our goal is simple: raise funds and awareness for our city’s kids — and help build a movement of citizens committed to their success.
Thanks to a generous donation from Bleacher Bar, 100 percent of your donation will go to The BASE.
Order your original Fenway Park shirts and backwards K hats today and then help us spread the word about our ongoing campaign for The BASE by sharing this campaign with your family and friends.
Thank you.
HISTORY
The Boston K Men began 27 years ago, when Pedro Martinez joined the Red Sox. At every home game that Pedro pitched between 1998 and 2004, the crew — mostly teenagers — plastered K signs symbolizing his strikeouts on the back wall of the Fenway Park bleachers.
After Pedro left the Sox, the K Men mellowed and migrated from Section 39, Row 31 to their current perch above the Green Monster, posting Ks each season for the team’s ace pitcher — from Josh Beckett and Jon Lester to Chis Sale and Garrett Crochet.
K is the symbol for strikeout because it is the last letter of the word “struck,” as in, “most batters who faced Pedro struck out.” We post the K forward if the batter strikes out swinging; backwards if the umpire calls the third strike.
While “The K Men” is the group’s official name, it is a bit of a misnomer. The K Men believe in equal opportunity, with representation from men, women and children.
The K Men are committed to using their role within Red Sox Nation to promote local charities each season.

My very good friend Bob Snyder is a K man and I know how hard he works to promote this great organization!
Love the Sox (first game 1966) , Love the fans and love this cause!!
First, it's great to help out a little bit for an organization that does so much for kids. Second, I bought one of their K hats a few years ago and I get asked about it all the time.
I happily support The Base & The Boston K Men. Two great organizations that make a great team, and we get to celebrate at Friendly Fenway, the best bar in Boston.
