This past Wednesday, 99 years ago, the Red Sox beat the Yankees (then known as the Highlanders) in Fenway's first professional baseball game. They won in 11 innings 7-6. The game was delayed two days earlier due to rain. The first game at Fenway was on April 11th during a snowstorm in which the Red Sox beat Harvard University. 24,000 people were at the first game and since then, Fenway has gotten some big upgrades and a lot more visitors.
On Wednesday, the Red Sox announced some of their plans for the anniversary. Fans can go to Fenway Park 100 to see year by year photos and watch more than 30 videos of historic monuments at Fenway for instance the Green Monster, Pesky's Pole and the lone red seat.
