Fenway Park

Home of the Boston Red Sox for nearly a century -- most of which was blighted by the alleged Curse of the Bambino -- Fenway Park was built for $650,000 in 1912. Its unveiling was upstaged in international news by the sinking of a little ship named the Titanic in the North Atlantic. Left field’s Green Monster -- at 37 feet, it’s the highest outfield wall in the majors -- is legendary, as is Fenway’s defiantly old-fashioned scoreboard, which is updated by hand, inning after inning. “As far as prestige goes, this is number one,” Agan says. “It’s also the hardest ticket in baseball, but so worth it.”
