(CNN) — It wasn’t just hot dogs and hamburgers Sunday at presidential hopeful Mitt Romney’s Fenway Park fundraiser. Outside the historic ballpark, opponents lined the street handing out flip-flops in an effort to highlight what they consider the former Massachusetts governor's shifting position on key issues. While contributors headed inside Fenway, home of the Red Sox, opponents walked the street dressed in huge pink cardboard flip flop’s reading — "Flip Flopper from Mass" and other such slogans directed at Romney. "Flip-flops, Mitt Romney style. They flip real quick," chanted his opponents as they handed out leaflets as well as pairs of the summer sandals to emphasize their point. Romney sticks to the sports theme Monday as the candidates make the mad dash for fundraising dollars before the second quarter closes Saturday night. Hundreds of Romney supporters will attend the National Call Day at the TD Banknorth Garden, home of two other fabled Boston sports franchise: the Bruins and Celtics. – CNN’s Assignment Editor Marissa Muller Filed under: Mitt Romney Race to '08
