Fenway Park, Boston
)
"Rest in peace. Bambino!"
2004년 보스톤 사람들은 이렇게 외쳤을 것이다.
1918년 월드시리즈 제패를 마지막으로 86년만에 저주를 풀었다.

April 20, 1912 : Fenway Park officially opens. After two rainouts,
the Red Sox defeat the New York Highlanders(now the New York Yankees)
7-6 in 11 innings in the first professional baseball game played at Fenway
Park.
The first game ever played at Fenway Park actually occurred on April 9,
when the Red Sox beat Harvard University, 2-0.
)

July 3, 1932 : The Red Sox play the team's first Sunday game at Fenway,
a 13-2 loss to the Yankees.
Sunday baseball was approved in Boston three years earlier, but not at
Fenway due to its proximity to a church.
The Red Sox then played their Sunday games at Braves Field on Common-
wealth Avenue until the law was changed.
The first Red Sox Sunday game actually played in Boston was a 7-3 loss
to Philadelphia at Braves Field on April 28, 1929(the Braves game of April 21
was rained out) before 22,000 fans.
)
1946 : Ted Williams hits a monumental 502-foot home run to right field off
Detroit right hander Fred Hutchinson on June 9.
The ball lands on top of the straw hat of Joseph A. Boucher, 56,
a construction engineer from Albany, NY who is sitting in section 42,
row 37, seat 21.
"The sun was right in our eyes," he said.
"All we could do was duck. I'm glad I didn't stand up.
They say it bounced a dozen rows higher, but after it hit my head,
I was no longer interested."
At that time the bleachers were real bleachers and not individual seats.
)
1947 : Arc lights are installed at Fenway Park, making the Red Sox the third
last team among the then 16 major league clubs to do so.
The Red Sox defeat the White Sox, 5-3, in Fenway's first night game
on June 13, with Dave Ferriss getting the win.
Green paint replaces advertisements covering the left field wall, giving rise
to the nickname "The Green Monster"? no more Calvert owl ("Be wise"),
Gem Blades ("Avoid 5 o'clock shadow"), Lifebuoy ("The Red Sox use it") and
Vimms ("Get that Vimms feeling").

Oct. 21, 1975 : The first World Series night game occurs at Fenway Park.
The memorable Game 6, delayed three days by rain, lasts four hours and
one minute, and ends with Carlton Fisk's dramatic home run off Pat Darcy
to lead off the last of the 12th.
The Red Sox tie the game at 6-6 in the last of the eighth on Bernie Carbo's
three-run, pinch-hit home run with two outs.

월드시리즈 우승의 붉은 깃발은 1918년 이후로는 더 이상 보이질 않는다.
1995년 Division 우승이 마지막이다.
그후로 간간히 Wild card로 playoff에 진출한 것이 고작...
그런데 작년 2004년에 그동안의 恨을 풀었다.
"The Curse is dead."

나름대로는 pride를 가지고 살던 Boston의 시민들...
New York과는 차별되는, 한 수 위라는 자부심!!!
대단해.........
