Biography[edit | edit source]
Birth and early life[edit | edit source]
Wally was born in 1894 in the Green Monster at Fenway Park to some random guy on the corner of Boylston and Park Streets and Luna Moccasins (before she turned gay). In 1947, he moved under the left-field wall at Fenway, assuming the title of The Green Monster at this time.
Life as the Green Monster[edit | edit source]
Living in a giant wall can get boring[3], so Wally began his life of crime. Starting in the early 50's, he began to cause mischief, including taunting the scoreboard operators. A founding member of The Gang (along with Dracula, a kehd from South Boston, and a guy from Worcester, and Elvis Presley), Wally's first major crime was throwing an as of yet unnamed Bostonian into Boston Harbor, where he was the same Blue Line train that caused Wally to end up only 7 feet tall. [Citation not needed at all; thank you very much]
In 1974, Wally began to suffer an addiction to Marshmallow Fluff, and would often go to great lengths to obtain this Class A narcotic.
