A centennial celebration of the Boston Red Sox's home stadium and the city's historical landmark. Fenway Park evokes a team and a sport that have become more synonymous with a city's identity than any stadium or arena in the country. The park's instantly recognizable confines have seen some of the most dramatic happenings in baseball history, including Carlton Fisk's "Is it fair?" home run in the 1975 World Series and Ted Williams's perfectly scripted long ball in his final at-bat. Watching a game at Fenway means recognizing that the pitcher is standing on the same mound where Walter Johnson, Christy Mathewson, and Babe Ruth pitched, that a hitter is in the same batter's box where Ty Cobb and Hank Aaron and Shoeless Joe Jackson dug in to take their swings. In its long history, Fenway has hosted football, hockey, soccer, boxing, and so much more. It has hosted hundreds of historic events having nothing to do with sports, including concerts, religious gatherings, and political rallies. It was the site of Franklin Delano Roosevelt's final campaign address, as well as performances by Stevie Wonder, Bruce Springsteen, and the Rolling Stones. Through it all, the Boston Globe has been the consistent, respected chronicler of every important moment in park history. In fact, the newspaper played a remarkable role in Fenway's creation and evolution: the Taylor family—founders and longtime owners of the Globe —owned the ballclub in 1912, helped finance the new stadium, and renamed the team the "Red Sox". Fenway Park is the Globe 's insider perspective, combined with more than a century of exemplary journalism, presenting the definitive narrative history of both park and team. It's a centennial collectors' item unlike any other, offering exceptional writing and hundreds of rarely seen photographs and illustrations.
