I’m helplessly and permanently a Red Sox fan. It was like first love…You never forget. It’s special. It’s the first time I saw a ballpark. I’d thought nothing would ever replace cricket. Wow! Fenway Park...

Why? Why should the bond between a people and their baseball team be so intense? Fenway Park is a part of it, offering a physical continuum to the bond, not only because Papi can stand...

If you’re wondering what’s wrong with Fenway Park in the first place, you’re not the only one. Fenway is special precisely because it has what modern stadiums lack: seats that, while often cramped, offer the...
