What's
New?
Fenway Park. 
It's been hailed as "Boston's Sistine Chapel." And
worshipful fans of New England's beloved but beleaguered Red Sox
know the story behind every dent in this venerable baseball
park's weathered facade.
The once invincible left field wall, known as the "Green
Monster," is synonymous with the Boston baseball ethos. So
too is the so-called "Curse of the Bambino" that
doomed the team never to win a world championship again. Since
the Babe was traded to the Yankees in 1920, heartsick fans have
watched as the Sox, who won the World Series five times by 1918,
took the pennant in 1946, 67, 75, and 86 - only to lose
the Series in the seventh game every time.
In a nationwide poll, both fans and players chose Fenway as the
most aesthetic place to experience a baseball game. Sports
lovers delight in the authenticity and character of this homey
downtown park - with its geometrically peculiar shape (including
the only ladder in play in the majors), gorgeous green lawn,
hand-operated scoreboard, and high-spirited fans. And if you
want to see Bostonians really let down their Puritan reserve,
Fenway Park shows them at their raucous best.
After sky-view seats were installed in 1946, lights in 1947, and
Diamond Vision in 1976, Fenway has remained much like it was on
opening day, April 20, 1912. Fenway has been a link to
baseball's past, a living museum commemorating the feats of
players whose names evoke enduring emotions: Cy Young, Babe
Ruth, Jimmy Collins, Duffy Lewis, Harry Hooper, Joe Cronin,
Bobby Doerr, Ted Williams, Jimmie Foxx, Jim Rice, Carl
Yastrzemski, and Roger Clemens.
Sadly for many, this season is the old Fenway's last hurrah.
Next year a new and glitzier stadium will be built on the site.
Fortunately for long-time fans, the Green Monster will be
incorporated in the new ballpark.
