With this past week marking the 108th “birthday” of Fenway Park and there still being no end in sight to the suspension of the 2020 season, it seemed like the perfect time to write a potted history of the iconic home ballpark of the Boston Red Sox.

The old ballpark has seen a lot of history in its century-plus lifetime.
