100 years ago today......

[Tron]

Babe Ruth made his MLB debut at Fenway Park

7 IP, 2 earned runs and he went 0-2 with the bat. One batter he faced was "Shoeless" Joe Jackson.

LOL, what a shitty hitter that Babe was.

 

[FairWarning]

Damn.

 

[roguejuror]

He used to play without shoes?

 

[Cougar Bait]

He received his nickname "Shoeless" Joe Jackson after playing a minor league game in his stockings because a new pair of spikes had given him blisters on his feet the previous day

Going to Fenway does feel like you're stepping into a time machine that brings you 100 years back. Even the streets and shops around it seem frozen in time.

Good shit, n'est-ce-pas Boner.

 

[FairWarning]

Would love to check out Fenway.

It makes Canadian baseball look and feel like ASS.

 

[reno cool]

this is the best baseball thread. I'd like to see Fenway. Wrigley field area seemed pretty cool too when I was there.

The Babe

Best baseball park hands down.

Best area to drink surrounding it hands down.

Never been to Fenway (and don't doubt you) but Wrigleyville has some epic bars all surrounding the park

You basically walk out the stadium and into a bar in every possible direction

My guess is Fenway is probably much of the same - is parking a nightmare like Wrigley?

My beef with Miller Park is that it's basically just a huge slab of concrete and highway-inside the park is cool but that's about it

Plenty of parking spots but expensive. I have never had a problem driving in and out when I go.

Yeah, it sounds essentially like the Wrigley Field set up. Bars and souvenir shops surround the ballpark.

100 years ago today, Archduke Franz Ferdinand had been assassinated and the seeds of World War 1 were germinating.

I wonder what that was like. WW1.

Sucky I bet.

Fenway is a fucking dump.

 

[Matty]

A magical fucking dump.
