Fenway at 100

Fenway Park is 100 years old this season, and this guy here writes what's so great about it:

But the creature comforts still lag behind what can be found at the wave of mallparks that have sprung up around the majors over the last two decades. Forget aquariums and swimming pools and steakhouses. The main attraction at Fenway is the same as it was the day it opened: baseball. For 100 years, the joy of Fenway has been the unadorned, uncomplicated joy of the game itself -- a joy that connects us to the thread of history like little else.

As you know I like living large at Yankee Stadium, but I'd like it more if instead of the countless amenities used to distract us into buying a bunch of shit, they made it an experience someone who makes less money than Bill Gates can enjoy more than once a decade.

I feel lucky to have been to Fenway...14 years ago. Meanwhile, here's a classic Mike and the Mad Dog argumwent about it, including which parks Mike enjoys shitting in more. Oooooooh, now I'm horny!
