I would not recommend that a visitor from San Francisco visit La Verdad: it's fine, and it's convenient to Fenway, but I'm sure you know a dozen places in the Mission that destroy it.
A uniquely Boston quick lunch before the game would be a sausage and pepper sandwich from one of the vendors on Yawkey Way or Lansdowne Street. If you're looking for something more substantial, many folks speak highly of Eastern Standard, although there's also been talk that it's gone downhill since its sibling ICOB opened.

I agree. Go to Dr Pepper's sausage cart for a sausage, onion, pepper with Inner Beauty before the game.
Have a dozen oysters at island creek or cheap beets at UNOs , then grab a sausage or two. Or four. You can take them into the park.

The beets might be cheap, but I was referring to BEERS. Dyac!

Because I was looking for it before, it's important to note that Dr. Pepper's cart is the Sausage Connection cart, yellow sign with red lettering, on Lansdowne. It is the SECOND cart from the corner of Brookline, if you have Game On to your right, and the Cask and Flagon to your left. You have to ask for the hot sauce, he does not keep it out where people might injure themselves.
