On June 28, 2002, over seven hundred members of the Society for American Baseball Research (SABR) descended on Fenway Park for an interleague contest between the hometown Boston Red Sox and their National League rivals, the former Boston-now Atlanta-Braves. Sixty-four of these avid fans, historians, statisticians, and game enthusiasts recorded their experiences for this book. Some wrote from privileged views such as inside the Green Monster's manual scoreboard, the Braves clubhouse, and the broadcast booth, while others took in the essence of Fenway from the grandstand or bleachers. The result is a fascinating look at Major League Baseball, the Red Sox and their colorful history, the charms and challenges of Fenway Park, and the allure of being a baseball fan. SABR SABR was founded in 1971 and today encompasses over 7000 members from all walks of life who share a love of baseball and its history.Nowlin, Bill is the author of 'Fenway Project', published 2004 under ISBN 9781579400910 and ISBN 1579400914.
