The Cradle of Baseball

by Bryan Strawser · Sep 4, 2004

A little more than a week ago, I visited that cradle of baseball – Boston’s Fenway Park to catch a game between Boston and Toronto.

Baseball at Fenway is just, well, different, than other ballparks. There’s the history and traditions – such as the last World Series won by Boston (1918):

Then there’s Coach Johnny Pesky, who played for Boston in the 40s and 50s – and continues to suit up for every game:

And the Green Monster out in Left Field:

And the famous Red Seat in the outfield where Ted Williams hit his monster home run:

There’s no place like Fenway Park…
