Fenway Park:  Home of the Boston Red Sox - Though generations have come and gone, Fenway Park remains, much like it did the day it opened on April 20, 1912. Fenway Park is actually the second home for the Sox. 

In 1901, the Boston Americans became one of the charter members of the fledgling American League. The Americans played ball at the Huntington Avenue Grounds, now a part of Northeastern University's campus.  

Boston Globe owner General Charles Henry Taylor, a Civil War veteran, bought the team for his son John I. Taylor in 1904. At various times were called the Puritans, Pilgrims and Plymouth Rocks. 

In 1907, owner Taylor changed the club's name from the Pilgrims to the Red Sox. In 1910, tired of the leasing arrangement for the Huntington Avenue Grounds, Taylor announced that he would build a ballpark for his Red Sox. Taylor dubbed the new ballpark Fenway Park because of its location in the Fenway section of Boston. (2005)

The "retired" numbers belong to the following players:  (1) - Bobby Doerr, (4) - Joe Cronin, (8) - Carl Yastrzemski, (9) - Ted Williams, (27) - Carlton Fisk, (42) - Jackie Robinson [Mr. Robinson's number was officially retired by Major League Baseball in 1997, although there were a handful of players that continued wearing #42 through a grandfather clause.]

Since this photo was taken, there are two additional numbers that have been retired:  (6) - Johnny Pesky and (14) - Jim Rice.
