Reviews
A glossy, colorful, large-format album that celebrates the majors' oldest park (1912), the last of the single-tier stadiums., Sparkling and upbeat, evoking not the park's gloomy history but its charming eccentricities and ever startling greenness - a place where it has always been heaven to be miserable., In this coffee-table book, Dan Shaughnessy and photographer Stan Grossfield have captured the baseball legend where Ted Williams, Yaz, and Jim Rice patrolled in front of the fabled green monster., A lavish pictorial tribute to the grand old ballpark...It's a worthy companion to Shaughnessy's earlier history of Fenway., A well-done photographic tribute to one of the last classical ballparks...Dan Shaughnessy provides an elegant, knowledgeable main text., A last look at the cracker-box stadium of green stands and a giant green left-field wall that's housed some of the most exciting and heartbreaking moments in sports., In addition to Shaughnessy's recollections of the oldest (with Tiger Stadium) ballpark, there are contributions from Stephen King and Doris Kearns Goodwin, as well as former Fenway stars Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski., A loving tribute to the oldest standing ballpark in the majors: that Calvinist cathedral, that torture chamber, that lush castle -- cursed by the ghost of an unforgiving legend and ruled by a benevolent Green Monster -- that home to the star-crossed Boston Red Sox., Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy bridges the spaces between the photos with knowledgeable commentary and myriad Fenway facts. For instance, the first ceremonial ball was tossed out by the grandfather of President John F. Kennedy., A must read for the members of what Mr. Shaughnessy calls Red Sox Nation...Frankly, I loved the book. Although I'm not a Sawx fan, I love the history and tradition Fenway represents.

Synopsis
Best-selling author Dan Shaughnessy and Pulitzer Prize--winning photographer Stan Grossfeld teamed up to create this pictorial tribute to Fenway -- the last of the grand old ballparks. With its ominous Green Monster, the lone red seat that marks Ted Williams's record-setting longest home run, the hand-operated scoreboard, and the fishbowl-style luxury "600 Club," Fenway Park has inspired more lavish praise and outrageous comparison than any American sports arena in history. And it has broken more hearts. Said David Halberstam, "You go to Fenway and you think, 'Something wonderful's going to happen today.' "Beautifully illustrated and including reflections from an illustrious list of fans, coaches, and players as well as a host of fascinating Fenway facts, FENWAY: A BIOGRAPHY IN WORDS AND PICTURES creates an experience almost as magical as walking through the gates on game day.
