One hundred years ago, on April 20, 1912, The Boston Red Sox played their first official game in Fenway Park. In honor of that milestone, on April 19, the Red Sox welcome fans to an open house to celebrate Fenway Park’s centennial celebration. There will be historical artifacts, photographs, and banners on display throughout the park, following the “Fenway Park: A Living Museum” path. Visitors will also have a chance to meet Red Sox legends, and visit parts of the ballpark generally inaccessible to fans.
The Fenway Park Open House also includes:
-
An opportunity for fans to explore 100 year old Fenway Park at their own pace
-
Historical markers denote historic home runs, events, and spots within the park
-
A display of the clubhouse that shows fans the mud that’s rubbed on the baseballs, pine tar, rosin bag and other items that fans generally don’t see during a visit to the park
-
Old programs, tickets, chairs, blueprints and many other items of historic interest from Fenway Park’s 100-year old history
-
Autograph signings throughout the day
-
An opportunity to walk the warning track, peek inside the Green Monster scoreboard and visit other spaces within the ballpark not normally available or accessible to fans
The next day, on April 20, the Red Sox will play the New York Yankees, the same team they played for the first official game in 1912, with both teams wearing historic uniforms.
