Now Pap's penthouse, which sits just two miles from Fenway Park in Boston's Beacon Street district, is also on the available on the market to the highest bidder. The asking price? Only $3.1 million! If you have that kind of chump change lying around, here's what your money can get you: 2,500 square feet 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms hardwood and marble flooring gourmet kitchen two Fenway seats Rooftop hot tub Looks like I have to start selling some more t-shirts before I can live the life of luxury that Pap was accustomed to. http://twitter.com/TheNosebleeds
