Fenway Park, built in 1912, is the oldest park in Major League Baseball and catching a game there is on most “Top Ten Things to do in Boston” lists. We spent an exciting evening visiting the park and watching the Red Sox play at this historic venue.

Crowds Position: -71 5.87, 42 20.87 Following the crowds into historic Fenway Park to take in a Boston Red Sox baseball game.

Landsdowne St Position: -71 5.90, 42 20.84 Looking down Landsdown Street behind the outfield. The stadium actually extends over the road.

Green Monster Position: -71 5.83, 42 20.76 The 37’2″ “Green Monster” left field wall at Fenway Park. Designed to hide the field from external viewers and reduce easy home runs to left field, the wall was part of the original park construction and is the highest in Major League Baseball.

Scoreboard Position: -71 5.83, 42 20.75 The scoreboard embedded in the wall still is updated by hand. Home game and American League scores are updated from behind the wall, and National League scores from the front of the wall. In the picture, the score keeper is returning back behind the wall through a door after updating the National league scores between innings.

Pitch Position: -71 5.83, 42 20.76 In this pitch from Red Sox Clay Buchholz to White Sox catcher Dioner Navarro the ball is just barely visible as a white streak between the third-to-home base line and the left end of the visitor’s dugout.

Strike Position: -71 5.83, 42 20.76 White Sox designated hitter Avisail Garcia swings through a pitch.

7th Inning Stretch Position: -71 5.83, 42 20.76 After the first half of the seventh inning, the grounds keepers cleaned the field while the fans stretched to the tune of the traditional “7th inning stretch” song, “Take Me Out to the Ball Game”

Fenway Position: -71 5.83, 42 20.76 The view from our seats. The Red Sox didn’t win, but we had a super-fun evening.
