Fenway Park

A Red Sox fan's image of the late '90's. Pedro Martinez is on the mound, and he will hold the opposition (in this image, the Indians) in check. Tim Wakefield will relieve, give up a couple of home runs, and the Red Sox will lose the game. The curse of who? Anyway, Fenway Park hosted the 1999 All Star game, and the Green Monster was dressed up for the entire season to celebrate it.

Two season later, in celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Red Sox (and the American League), the Green Monster again sported an added feature.

The circle around the home plate area was also trimmed for the 100th season.

For the 2002 season, the Green Monster is again adorned for the 3rd time in 4 seasons with a special logo; this time, for the 90th anniversary of the ballpark itself.

In case you were inside the park, and unsure of your location, (ala Richie Hebner and the Vet, Riverfront, Three Rivers and Busch), the name is above the 600 club seats behind the plate.

One of the older photo images on the site. The year is 1983, little has changed.

One of the earliest picture postcard images of Fenway Park is presented below. Looking across home plate and toward the first base stands you can see the single deck structure that existed into the early 1930's.

What strikes you in looking at the following image , is that in this day (summer of 2001) of cable TV, satellite dishes, & wireless communications, Fenway Park still has some old fashioned antennas atop the light towers. Another staunch supporter of tradition.

Judging by the image below, it seems that the netting atop the green monster doesn't stop all of the baseballs from landing on the street below.

A view of the bullpens. Fenway is the last existing park to have the bullpens retrofitted into what was once part of the outfield.

With the addition of numbers 27 (Carlton Fisk) and 42 (Jackie Robinson), the numerologist have lost their significance of the numbers 1 4 8 & 9 and the Curse of the Bambino.
