The History Of Fenway Park

By: Robert Anglin and Brendan McDonough

Brendan: Monday 10/25...we took a trip to the legendary Fenway Park in Boston. This park was built April 20th, 1912. This park is the home field of the Boston Red Sox. On our trip, we saw the retired baseball players numbers out on display. All these players are great but there is one spot dedicated to one special player, his name is Ted Williams. Ted Williams has one special seat located in right field section 42 seat 21. This seat is painted red and dedicated to Ted Williams because of the home run he had hit. Ted Williams hit the longest home run in baseball history.

Fenway gift shop is a huge part of Fenway because it has everything from every game. This part of the field trip was the best for Robert because he spent 45 minutes in the store...he is very passionate about baseball.

Robert: This trip meant a lot to me because growing up I was a huge fan of baseball. I will always remember the 2004 world series the year the Red Sox broke their 86 year "curse of the Bambino" that year the “ Bunch of idiots” including David Ortiz, Kevin Millar, Johnny Damon and Bill Muller helped the Boston Red Sox comeback from being down 3-0 behind the New York Yankees to come back and win 4 in a row for the greatest comeback in sports history. Going to Fenway unleashed my inner child because it gave me enjoyment to see all the history in this park from the retired numbers from Ted Williams famous #9 to Jackie Robinson’s league wide retired #42
