Don't Take Fenway Park for Granted with Glenn Stout
About this episode
The episode explores the history and significance of Fenway Park through the insights of author Glenn Stout.
We're learning about a true Boston icon: Fenway Park. According to author Glenn Stout, this baseball paradise "changed his life" — it also would have been unrecognizable to current fans back in 1912 when it opened. The ballpark's transformation over the last 100-plus years tells us so much about the city and its continued evolution. And don't you dare take its endurance for granted: There were moments when Fenway was in real peril, and it might be in the future, too.
