Fenway 1912

Edición de la obra Fenway 1912

Fenway 1912 breaks new ground in telling the full story of the building and construction of Fenway Park obsolete. In the context of its first season Stout tells you precisely why Fenway looks the way it does, what architectural styles and influences played a part in its design, exactly how it was built, how it evolved during its first season and how Fenway Park contributed to the Red Sox 1912 world championship. Not a thumbnail history of the franchise like other Fenway books, Fenway 1912 tells the story of Fenway Park as an actual story, a drama that over the course of a little more than a year changed the history of the Red Sox and the City of Boston forever. Fenway Park is the main character, but there are many others – architect James E. McLaughlin, contractor Charles Logue, groundskeeper Jerome Kelley, and players like Tris Speaker, Smoky Joe Wood, Duffy Lewis, Royal Rooters like Nuf Ced McGreevey, team owner James McAleer and others. The end result if a living history of Fenway Park and the breakout baseball bestseller of the 2011 holiday season, a book for any baseball fans, and not just fans of the Red Sox.
