Fenway Park

Fenway Park has its 95th Opening Day today and the regal old park has been transformed under the current ownership from a pending tear-down to the jewel of baseball. I'm stuck in NYC, but I'd love to be up there today when the Sawx take on the Blue Jays. There have been a ton of new ballparks constructed in recent years with Camden Yards incorporating the best of old and new school design elements. The pending new Yankee Stadium is rumoreded to be a sweet combo of the original Stadium's old world charm and all the modern amenities you could hope for... yet there's something about the Green Monster and its funky design that captures all the disappointments (too many) and triumphs of the last 100 years of the Sox. Just like the team on the field, it's back and bettah than evah. Here's a shout-out to some of the individuals of times past who have made the Sox heritage what it was and is, Tom Yawkey, Curt Gowdy, Ned Martin, Mel Parnell, Teddy Ballgame, George "The Boomer" Scott, Dom DiMaggio, Tony C., Dick Radatz and all the rest...
