Description

|
|
(Winner of the 2011 Seymour Medal and Larry Ritter Award) This tribute to Boston's Fenway Park tells the behind-the-scenes story of one of baseball's legendary fields. Glenn Stout, longtime series editor for The Best American Sports Writing, gives us Fenway's first year, from the long winter of 1911–1912, when locals poured concrete for the foundation, to the ragtag Red Sox's triumphant Game 8 in the 1912 World Series, when Steve Yerkes tagged home in the 10th inning. Stout profiles the park's notorious quirks like the Green Monster, as well as the designers, builders, managers, and players who made Fenway's first year unforgettable.
