Looking Back At The Historic Home Run Fifty Years Later

This whole week is a fun look at things around Fenway Park. The day that I visited the park in 2016 was the anniversary of the big home run by Carlton Fisk. This wall is found on your way to the monster seats. I love that I got the reflection of the Citgo sign in it. Fisk waving the ball fair is etched onto the glass with a quote about the big blast. Of course me being me I had to get a photo of this while touring the park.

Fenway Park Week

This week the theme in the afternoon is all about Fenway Park. Fifty years ago this week Carlton Fisk hit one of the most iconic home runs in baseball history at this park. I took the tour where I made these photos 41 years exactly since that home run was hit. If  you read this blog often then you know that Carlton was my favorite ballplayer. He hit this iconic home run a little less than a year before I was born. It was still a core memory from my childhood as it was played all of the time. It was cool to get to tour this park on the anniversary of that home run. Now with that moment turning 50 I thought that this could be a cool theme for the week.
