    The Green Monster

    4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215
    You can't talk Fenway without starting here! This towering, 37-foot-2-inch green wall in left field isn't just a barrier; it's a character in every game, making for some wild bounces and incredible home runs.

    Pesky's Pole

    4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215
    Tucked away in right field, just 302 feet from home plate, this foul pole is famously named after Red Sox legend Johnny Pesky. It's a short porch, and countless fly balls have either snuck around it for a homer or hooked foul.

    The Lone Red Seat

    4 Jersey St, Boston, MA 02215
    This single red seat in the right-field bleachers marks the longest home run ever hit at Fenway Park, a mammoth 502-foot blast by Ted Williams in 1946. It’s a subtle nod to a legendary moment.

    The Triangle

    Deep in center field lies "The Triangle," a uniquely shaped area of the outfield warning track where fly balls can get lost and outfielders can get turned around. It's truly a distinctive feature of Fenway.
