A deserted Fenway Park sits peacefully waiting for the beloved Red Sox to return from a road trip.
Fenway Park is the oldest major league baseball stadium still in use and celebrates its 100 year anniversary this year.
Beer cups, peanut shells, hot dog wrappers all cleared away waiting for the 35,000+ fans to arrive once again and cheer the home team.
The hallowed grass and cutout at third base.
In case you ever wondered, it's official - getting hit with a baseball or a bat is not a good thing - pay attention, that way you might see it just before impact.
Right field and the city of Boston in the background.
It took 86 years before the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004. Many old-timer fans had waited a lifetime for it to happen. I bet if if you asked all of the fans where they were on October 27, 2004 when the last out occurred they could tell you like it was yesterday - I will always remember, I was out of town on business at a hotel in Hartford, Connecticut - it was my 52nd birthday - nice birthday present, eh?.
And they did it again in 2007.
This is the only peanut shell left in the park. It had been hiding from the sweepers but I found him attempting to escape.
Fenway Park occasionally hosts musical concerts and other special events on the hallowed grass. The note on the photo above sounds like good advice to carry with me anywhere my life takes me - concert or otherwise.
