The Celtics took Gordon Hayward and his wife to Fenway Park, prepared a special video for them
Gordon Hayward and his wife Robyn are in Boston today for his free agent pitch from the Celtics. Brad Stevens went to pick them up at the airport last night himself. Although not much is known about what the Celtics' plans are for their day with Hayward it appears they taken both Gordon and his wife over to Fenway park:

There's a ton of history in that cathedral of baseball, just as much as there is in the banners that hang from the rafters in TD Garden. I'd imagine that part of their pitch has a lot to do with Hayward creating a legacy of his own among the legends that will live forever in the hearts of the New England sports faithful.
A Celtics fan just outside and above Fenway has a bird's-eye-view of a video that it appears the Celtics had prepared for Gordon and his wife to see as they toured the ballpark:

The video was about 6 minutes long and included clips of historic moments and achievements in Boston sports history as well as messages from players and clips of NBA greats including Kobe Bryant and LeBron James talking about how special it is to play in Boston.
