Wraps. Etat : Very good. First Printing [Stated]. 64 pages. Illustrations (color). Introduction by Stacey and Larry Lucchino. Lawrence "Larry" Lucchino (born September 6, 1945) is the former president and CEO of the Boston Red Sox, and member of John W. Henry's ownership group. This charming children's dictionary of baseball basics is a must for all aspiring baseball fans. Nichole Wadsworth Schrafft has collected wonderful photographs of Fenway Park, its' maintenance staff, vendors, Red Sox owners, management, coaching staff, trainers, players, and fans. Each letter from A to Z features several pages of baseball phrases, terms, and expressions that are amusingly and simply defined. For example: "B is for BELIEVE (verb) (I Believe, We Believe) The act of accepting something as the truth or reality. Red Sox fans have believed in their team season after season. 2004 proved to be the year that fans could say, "We Believed" as their beliefs turned into a World Championship!" The pages are filled with photographs of everything that is Fenway Park, including the World Series championships in 2004. Sample scoring cards and pages for autographs are included at the end of the book. Fenway Park is a baseball park located in Boston, at 4 Yawkey Way near Kenmore Square. Since 1912, it has been the home for the Boston Red Sox, the city's American League baseball team, and since 1953, its only Major League Baseball (MLB) franchise. It is the oldest ballpark in MLB. Because of its age and constrained location in Boston's dense Fenway-Kenmore neighborhood, the park has been renovated or expanded many times, resulting in quirky heterogeneous features including "The Triangle" (below), "Pesky's Pole", and the Green Monster in left field. It is the fourth-smallest among MLB ballparks by seating capacity, second-smallest by total capacity, and one of eight that cannot accommodate at least 40,000 spectators. Fenway has hosted the World Series ten times, with the Red Sox winning five of them, and the Boston Braves winning one. The first, in the park's inaugural season, was the 1912 World Series and the most recent was the 2013 World Series. Besides baseball games it has been the site of many other sporting and cultural events including professional football games for the Boston Redskins, Boston Yanks, and the Boston Patriots; concerts; soccer and hockey games (such as the 2010 NHL Winter Classic); and political and religious campaigns. April 20, 2012, marked Fenway Park's centennial. On March 7 of that year, the park was added to the National Register of Historic Places. Former pitcher Bill Lee has called Fenway Park "a shrine". It is a pending Boston Landmark which will regulate further changes to the park. Today, the park is considered to be one of the most well-known sports venues in the world. N° de réf. du vendeur 73340
