Fenway Park the "Tour"

I knew going out for this trip that the Boston Red Sox would be in town. It turned out that they were there for game 3 of the ALDS against the Angels. Standing room only tickets were going for $290 and well.......that was out of the question. So we took the $12 tour of course I was in hog heaven. Fenway Park dates back to 1912 had for sports junky like myself had tons of little things that make the park special........well at least for guys I guess. You'll see a picture of a long bar that was put in using an the lanes of an old bowling alley. They also have 1 red seat out in right field bleachers that indicates the where the longest home run in that park was hit (ironically it hit a guy from New York). It still boasts a scoreboard that is changed by 2 guys that was once they enter the area can't get out until after the game (by the way, no ac or heat). Of course the Green Monster which you can see Tricia sitting on is the wall in left field. Fenway is the 3rd smallest ball park to the Athletics and the Pirates. It still has many of the original tiny narrow seats in the lower area that probably won't be replaced (even though they are hard, narrow, with chipping paint and uncomfortable) because they would lose 3000 seats to update them. The photo of the baseball is the ball that the Red Sox and their first baseman couldn't agree upon ownership of after their first World Series in some 88 years. So it now resides in the Hall of Fame.
