Fenway Park is the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball.   Located near Kenmore Square, it is home of the Boston Red Sox.  Because our hotel was located around the corner of the park, we passed this place on a number of occasions as we head out for supper or just going for a walk.

We visited the stadium twice during our week stay in Boston.  First visit was a “Samuel Adams Brewery” hosted post marathon party and the second visit was a game between the Red Sox and Twins.

 

First series of photos depicts our evening walk around the park after dinner at a nearby restaurant

Lansdowne Street. A number of individuals wait around this area hoping for a home run hit that may go over the Green Monster (to the right)

The MGM Music Hall is located right next door on Lansdowne. The Prudential Tower looms in the distance

House of Blues is located across the street of the Music Hall

 

Second series of photos were taken at the Samuel Adams Brewery Post-Marathon Party

From the Green Monster. The long line-up was quick to Field Level, behind home plate. On the right edge of the photo, four World Series Cups were displayed. A staff member would take a photo of you with the cups with your phone.

Our seating area for next day’s game was a few rows behind the visitor dugout beside third base.

The World Series Cups

The line-up to home base. It was fast moving but once you got down, there was plenty of space and we got to take our time hanging out

Field Level. It was so cool!

 

The third series of photos are from Game Day with the Twins

Our entrance to the park

This section is located behind Right Field. You can see one red painted seat about nine rows down. This is the location of the farthest hit ball (502 feet) ever made in Fenway. It was done by Ted Williams on June 10, 1946. No one has broken that record.

I’m always in awe of how far the pitcher throws the ball and with accuracy.
