On April 20, 1912, 5 days after the sinking of the RMS Titanic, followers gathered at Fenway Park for the very first time — there, they cheered on the Boston Purple Sox in what was an additional innings win over the New York… Highlanders (who took the identify Yankees one yr later, in 1913).

Now considered “The Cathedral of Baseball,” Fenway is Main League Baseball’s oldest ballpark — besting the Chicago Cubs’ Wrigley Discipline by two years. Attending a recreation at Fenway is a dream for a lot of, whether or not they observe baseball or not. Fenway’s environment is not like every other and, when my very own staff (the St. Louis Cardinals) got here to city final weekend, I needed to be there.

Though the century-old ballpark has some accessibility challenges, and lots of ADA seats have an obstructed view, there are some actually GREAT accessible seats, akin to within the left discipline field close to the Inexperienced Monster (part 164). On Sunday night time, as I sat there watching the Redbirds defeat the Sox for the third night time in a row, I spotted that I had witnessed a historic first in a baseball stadium that’s welcomed followers for greater than a century.
