Ok, now I'm confused. Many months ago I posted a FAVORITE BALLPARK NICKNAME (http://baseball-fever.com/showthread.php?t=43545) thread/poll. I listed "The Fens" as a nickname and was told by you and efin98 that neither of you had ever heard of Fenway being called that, and yet I've since indeed heard/seen it refered to as that, and now here again, you call it that.

Explaination? :crazy :confused: :lookitup :rolleyes: :) :laugh

You must of started a new fad, Elvis. All of sudden Tina Cervasio on NESN was calling it that, then Jerry Remy, then some members around here, and now even I'm calling Fenway "the Fens.":eek: :crazy :D It needs a nickname anyways.

I've been calling it "The Fens" for years.

Great, great pictures, by the way. I can't wait to see the ol' park again. Dunno when I will, but I look forward to it.

Here's an image of Fenway Park during the year 1940-46:

It obviously looks a lot different, and what's different about it? Look very closely at the picture, you'll find a lot of different features of Fenway.

[RichardLillard1]

I figured I'd made some contributions to the Fenway page so here goes...

Obviously not much has changed to Fenway's outer facade in nearly a hundred years. Unsure of the date.

A collection taken from around the same time. Unsure of the date.

And lastly can you picture Fenway with a full upper deck? It almost happened a few years back, these are from an orginazation called Save Fenway Park. It also shows how much larger these new corporate ballyards have become.

The proposed change compared to Camden Yards. Looks like it would have been a winner to me, might have been rough without a roof though.

Clay cross-sections of Fenway and Coors Field illustrate how much closer you would have been to the action.

Wow it's cool seeing the Fenway Park photos. It hasn't changed much since the 40's. I was born on the same day as the opening of Fenway Park, April 20th. You said earlier that you have 15 years to see Fenway, you think Fenway will be replaced in about 15 yrs. If so then I'll definately go to see a game there, even though I'll probaly just sit there and enjoy a game and won't root for anybody.

[zengator]

I took a bunch of photos during my visit to Fenway in 2005. In this one, I was trying to catch a good swing. It was better than I hoped -- Manny sent the pitch over the green monster. (If you look carefully, you can see the ball streaking away.)
