Maybe it IS easy being green!

During our big sightseeing day in Baaston, we took a drive by Fenway Park. It was not a game-day, so everything was open to traffic and pedestrians. We had a great time walking around the park, seeing things we would never have been able to with 38,000 fans hanging around.

These two photos show the outside of the infamous "Green Monster" it doesn't roar or eat villagers, but it does terrorize unsespecting baseball teams. Outfielders notoriously have difficulty predicting how the ball will careem off of it. Beware the Green Monster!

One thing you may not have known (we sure didn't!) is that there is a bar actually INSIDE the Green Monster. When there is no game, they actually open up a part of the wall, and you can see right out onto the field.

This is a view from the bar onto the field. The fuzzy spots around the edges are the chain-link fence we had to shoot the picture through.

This photo was taken the following day, during the game. It was taken to show where the bar is inside the wall.

This was taken from a peek-through at the end of the bar. It shows the original wall that now sits behind the current center-field fence. If you click on this image, and enlarge the photo, you can see many generations of players' signatures.

Being Oakland A's fans, we guess we are partial to the color green. Go figure!
