Over the next 30 weeks we are going to bring you on a tour of each of America’s Major League ballparks through the magic of high quality photos. We kick things off with Fenway Park, the oldest professional sports venue in the United States celebrating its 101st anniversary in 2013.
As hardcore Yankee fans it is tough for John and I to say positive things about the Red Sox but if there was ever a reason to praise our rivals to the north it would be their stadium. Fenway Park is one of those gems that goes beyond just baseball. It is an American icon that is celebrating it’s 100th birthday so the timing of our visit was perfect. Although the Sox lost to the Blue Jays we picked a great game to attend. The weather started off perfect then around the 6th inning Mother Nature turned on the faucet and the game went into a rain delay. Omar Vizquel danced and lightning struck near by. To avoid the downpour our crew, along with the guys from Bleacher Report, went over to Who’s On First for a few beers then after two and a half hours the game resumed with only a few hundred people in the stands. We saw David Ortiz hit two homeruns and Jose Batista hit a bomb over the Green Monster. We got to hang out with a lot of great fans, the Sox let us sit in John Henry’s seats for a few innings and more »
On Monday night our #WPbaseball Bucket List trip took us up to Boston for the Red Sox game against the Toronto Blue Jays. HTC Titan II has an incredible panorama function built into the phone so that, combined with the 16 mega pixel camera, make for some photographic magic. At each ballpark of the trip we are shooting scenic and iconic views in panorama. Check out last week’s images from Citi Field, see our schedule here for future dates and check back for panoramic photos from Yankee Stadium, Wrigley Field and more.
On Friday, April 20, 2012 the Boston Red Sox celebrated Fenway Park’s 100th birthday with a game against American League East rivals the New York Yankees. The team invited every living former player, John Williams conducted the Boston Pops in the National Anthem, and the first pitch was thrown out by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of JFK, and obvious choice since it was her great-grandfather Boston Mayor John F. Fitzgerald who threw out the first pitch on Opening Day April 20, 1912 of Fenway Park’s first season. Here are photos from the festivities.
On this day 100 years ago the iconic baseball cathedral Fenway Park in Boston, MA opened for business. Fenway has only gotten better with age and today to mark the occasion the New York Yankees and bBoston Red Sox showdown in a battle of the American League East rivals. In this photo taken early today the Green Monster has a special message for fans.
