History:
Fenway Park opened in 1912
and is the oldest ballpark
in the major leagues. Fenway
is best known for its Green
Monster, a 37-foot high wall
that extends straight from
left field to center field.
It has one of the last hand-operated
scoreboards in baseball in
the left field wall. Green
and red lights are used to
signal balls, strikes, and
outs. Fenway has played host
to three All-Star games and
what some may regard as the
best World Series game ever,
Game 6 in 1975 (Cincinnati
vs. Boston).
