From the Boston Globe:
Opening day for renovations
Maligned .406 Club is the first to go at Fenway
Originally named the "600 Club" (for its 600 seats), the name was changed to the ".406 Club" in 2002 to honor Ted Williams, MLB's last 400 hitter. (Unfortunately, this was 17 days after he died. Couldn't they have done it before then?)
[Speaking of last 400 hitters, did you know that the last 400 hitter in baseball was Artie Wilson of the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro American League?]
We plebians who usually sat in the bleachers always called it "Fans Under Glass".
Reportedly, it changed the wind patterns at Fenway Park, and the players hated that.
