Fenway Park is one of the most historic stadiums in all of sports and is the home of the Boston Red Sox. The Red Sox play in the American League's Eastern Division. Fenway Park is well known for its towering wall in left field called the Green Monster. A hitter only needs the ball to travel 310 feet to left field for a homerun, but it must clear the 37 foot wall. The Green Monster gives Fenway Park a unique feature that you won't see at any other ballpark in baseball.Fenway Park was constructed in 1912, making it the oldest stadium in Major League Baseball. The Red Sox won a World Series title in the first year playing at Fenway. They've won 7 total World Series titles, with the most recent coming in 2007.Fenway Park has hosted many events over the years such as football, hockey, and soccer games as well religious and political campaigns. Dave Matthews Band, Phish, Paul McCartney, Aerosmith, and Bruce Springsteen are some of the more notable artists to hold concerts at Fenway Park in the last 5 years. Fenway Park holds a capacity of roughly 37,495 for night games and 37,067 for day games.

The Boston Red Sox beat the New York Yankees 3-2 on Sunday night to take the rubber game of the weekend series and move to an even 51-51 on the season thus far. While the team still remains 9.5 games out of first place, it went a long way to help build momentum heading into the rest of the week. Alfredo Aceves picked up the victory in extra innings, pitching 2.1 innings and allowing zero runs on one hit. He also picked up two strikeouts over the course of his 37 pitches, which included a 10 pitch at-bat with Raul Ibanez to finish off the Yankees.

Beckett pitched seven innings, allowing four earned runs on nine hits and two walks. He also added three strikeouts on his way to his ninth loss of the season. Offensively for Boston, Will Middlebrooks and Dustin Pedroia each went deep, accounting for all of the Red Sox runs on the game.

The last-place Boston Red Sox have once again fallen below .500 with Wednesday night's 5-3 loss to the Texas Rangers dropping their record to 49-50 as they head into a weekend series with their rivals, the first-place New York Yankees. Nothing is going right for the Red Sox this season, and they've had to deal with the continuing backlash from last season's late collapse in addition to further issues within the clubhouse that have popped up along the way so far this season. Despite being third in the league in runs and sixth in batting average, the Red Sox just can't seem to put it together.

The Boston Red Sox are fighting their way back into the AL East picture one inch at a time. Winning 7 of their last 10 games, the Red Sox have now pulled themselves up to 40-36, and are in third place in the AL East, 6.5 games behind the first place Yankees and 1.5 behind the second place Orioles. Earlier this week, the Red Sox dealt their long-time third baseman Kevin Youkilis to the Chicago White Sox. Youkilis spent almost a decade with the Red Sox organization and won two World Series titles in Boston, and his departure was emotional for him and for all of Red Sox nation.

In a season of ups-and-downs for many teams, the Boston Red Sox are just another in the long line of roller-coaster clubs, as they continue their recent resurgence. The Red Sox have rescued themselves from the basement of the AL East and are now three games over .500 at 36-33. Winners of 7 of their last 10 games, the Sox recently completed a three-game sweep of the Miami Marlins, capped off by a three-run rally in the bottom of the 8th inning on Thursday night to earn a 6-5 win and complete the sweep.

After what looked like a promising stretch where the Boston Red Sox were beginning to assert themselves and climb back into contention in the AL East, things have been to go south again for the Sox, as they've lost 7 of their last 10 games and currently find themselves below .500 again at 31-32. Salvation will come in the form of a weekend series with the Chicago Cubs, as the Red Sox will look to get back on track and move up from the basement of the AL East. At the moment, they remain 6.5 games out of the division lead and are tied with the Toronto Blue Jays for last place.

The resurgent Boston Red Sox have begun to climb back into contention in the AL East and with a 29-28 record are only 3 games out of the division lead as they head into a three-game series with the NL East-leading Washington Nationals at Fenway Park this weekend. They will have to face Nationals' ace Stephen Strasburg in the series opener on Friday night as they look to win and keep pace with their rest of the division. Clay Buchholz powered the Sox to a 7-0 win over the Baltimore Orioles on Thursday as the Sox avoided the sweep.

At 26-25, the Boston Red Sox have scratched and clawed their way back into the picture in the AL East and are now only 3 games out of the division lead, despite being in last place. The Red Sox are coming off of a four-game series against the Detroit Tigers in which they won three out of the four games and are starting to reestablish themselves thanks to solid pitching from Felix Doubront, who is 5-2 with a 3.86 ERA. David Ortiz is also have a resurgence of sorts, with a .318 batting average to go along with 12 home runs and 35 RBI.

5/25/12 The last-place Boston Red Sox have won 7 of their last 10 games, including taking two out of three from the first-place Orioles, and they are now back to .500 with a 22-22 record. The next few weeks will be tough for the Sox though, as they open this weekend with a three-game series against their division rivals, the Tampa Bay Rays. They will follow that series with a four-game set against the reeling Detroit Tigers and a three-game series north of the border against the Toronto Blue Jays. An uncharacteristically hot start from David Ortiz, who has 10 HR and 30 RBI to go along with a .315 average, has kept the Sox afloat thus far.

5/18/12 Despite splitting a 2-game series with the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays this week and despite winning 6 of their last 10, the last-place Boston Red Sox are still struggling to get their head above water and crack the .500 mark. At 18-20, the Sox are 2 games behind the 4th place Yankees in the AL East and 6.5 games behind the Rays. Things won't get much easier for Boston, as they'll head to Philadelphia to play an interleague series against a similarly struggling Phillies team that is also in last place in their respective division.

5/11/12 After a minor resurgence that lasted for all of a few games, the Boston Red Sox have returned to their losing ways as of late. The 12-19 Red Sox are reeling, having lost 8 of their last 10 games to the Orioles, Royals, and Indians. The embattled Red Sox ace Josh Beckett has struggled mightily, opening up the season with a 2-4 record and a 5.97 ERA, the latest debacle coming in the first game of the current series with the Cleveland Indians. The Red Sox are currently in last place in the AL East and trail the 4th place Yankees by 5 games.

Felix Dubront picked up his first loss of the season for the Boston Red Sox as they dropped to a game below .500 in a 5-3 loss to the Oakland Athletics at Fenway Park. Dubront gave up a season-high five earned runs over four innings of work, allowing six hits and two walks in his effort. While the Red Sox bullpen held strong without giving up a run, the offense could not get the team back into the game in the late innings. Shortstop Mike Aviles had two hits for Boston, including two runs batted in to give him 19 on the season. Daniel Bard will get the start on Wednesday.

After a horrible start in which many fans were already calling for new manager Bobby Valentine's job, the Boston Red Sox have rebounded and are now winners of six of their last seven games. The team finally got a strong start from ace Jon Lester this past weekend when he gave them seven innings of shutout baseball to go along with seven strikeouts on 122 pitches. Designated hitter David Ortiz is off to a strong start as well, leading the team with a .395 batting average in the month of April. Newcomer Cody Ross currently also leads the squad with 5 home runs and 18 RBI's.

5/4/12 Despite a slow start to the season, the Boston Red Sox have managed to recover somewhat by winning 7 of their last 10 games and bringing their record to 11-13. Although they are still in last place in the AL East and 6 games behind the division-leading Tampa Bay Rays, they are only 1.5 games behind the New York Yankees heading into a series with the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox have been helped by a red-hot start from David Ortiz. Ortiz is batting .391 with 6 home runs and 21 RBI to start the season, his best start in three years.

The Boston Red Sox continued their free fall this past weekend after losing two games to the division rival New York Yankees. Perhaps the most damaging game of the season came in the second game of the three-game set when Boston jumped out to a 9-0 lead early in the game against Yankees starter Freddy Garcia, only to end up losing the game 15-9. The Yankees scored 7 runs in each the seventh and eighth innings against the horrid Sox bullpen. After that game, the Red Sox fell to 4-10 on the young season. The third game of the series was postponed for later in the season due to strong rain in the Boston area.

After their epic collapse at the end of last season, the Boston Red Sox looked to rebound in a big way with the additions of new manager Bobby Valentine, closer Andrew Bailey and right fielder Cody Ross. Unfortunately, the season has not gone the way they had hoped; after losing Bailey for most of the season with a thumb injury, the Sox began the 2012 season with an 0-3 record and two blown saves by their ailing bullpen. Their starting pitching has not been much better, with both Josh Beckett and Clay Buchholtz each yielding 7 earned runs in their first start.

When it boils down to it, Boston fans just love sports, and they certainly love their Boston Red Sox. After all, there isn't much like the experience of taking the T to Fenway, walking with droves of people towards the park, mingling in Yawkee Way, grabbing some beers and Fenway Franks, and rooting for the Sox with your fellow Boston Brethren. If you like to party, check out the roofdeck at Cask and Flaggon or hang at the heavily TVed Game On.

Boston Red Sox - The Players

When I was growing up, I had a Mo Vaughn jersey that I would wear in my back yard and emulate Vaughn's quirky, crowched over and hitchy swing as I sought to hit home runs over the right field fence (aka, a strip of bushes that lined the dead end street in which I lived on). Well today there are no shortage of Red Sox players exciting today's youth to get out and play baseball. From David Ortiz to Dustin Pedroia, and more recently John Lackey and Adrian Gonzalez, the Red Sox have stars cutting up Fenway and bombing home runs over the infamous Green Monster to the looming Citgo sign in the distance.
