The oldest major league ballpark in use, Fenway still retains the feel and features it did when it opened. It all started on April 20, 1912 when the Red Sox played the New York Highlanders (who later changed their name to the Yankees).
Named after its location (the Fens area of Boston), the park received its most iconic add-on in the 1930s – a 37 foot-high wall which was later painted dark green. The Green Monster was born.
