Description
Best-selling author Dan Shaughnessy and Pulitzer Prize--winning photographer Stan Grossfeld teamed up to create this pictorial tribute to Fenway -- the last of the grand old ballparks. With its ominous Green Monster, the lone red seat that marks Ted Williams's record-setting longest home run, the hand-operated scoreboard, and the fishbowl-style luxury "600 Club," Fenway Park has inspired more lavish praise and outrageous comparison than any American sports arena in history. And it has broken show more more hearts. Said David Halberstam, "You go to Fenway and you think, 'Something wonderful's going to happen today.' "Beautifully illustrated and including reflections from an illustrious list of fans, coaches, and players as well as a host of fascinating Fenway facts, FENWAY: A BIOGRAPHY IN WORDS AND PICTURES creates an experience almost as magical as walking through the gates on game day. show lessTags
