APRIL 22, 2004 --

LPR was not at Fenway Park, April 19, but it did get to Fenway Park the next day, the ballpark’s 92nd birthday, Sid Rosenberg reminded Imus listeners April 20. The Red Sox graciously permitted LPR to take photos of the storied baseball site, and LPR took photos of the exterior and vicinity as well. A large, very well-stocked souvenir store opposite the park on Yawkey War sells "YANKEE GO HOME" tee shirts. And at Boston Beer Works, opposite the Red Sox ticket office, the large variety of brews include Bambino Ale, on tap here for twelve years, LPR was told. The ballpark photos show the short left field wall, famously called "The Green Monster"-- souveniers include green monsters, and the stands that gracefully slope down to the field in right center.

There was no world series one hundred years ago-- in 1904. That omission had something to do with an argument between the National and American leagues, not a major league labor dispute. The Red Sox might want to invite Coach Calhoun to all home games -- certainly those against the Yankees and other contenders.

Close to first base at Fenway.
