Meet, Mingle, Read: Fenway Park

The Director’s “Meet, Mingle, Read” series continues! Join us in

welcoming authors Ron Driscoll and John Powers who will discuss their

new book, Fenway Park: A Salute to the Coolest, Cruelest, Longest-Running Baseball Stadium in America (Running Press).

Since it opened in 1912, Fenway Park has become an iconic destination

for baseball fans everywhere and a source of great civic pride for

generations of New Englanders. Home to the Boston Red Sox—as well as

many important non-baseball events over the decades—it is consistently

among the most visited and toured sports arenas in the country.

Published in association with the Boston Globe, Fenway Park

is the product of an all-star cast of writers, photographers, and

baseball historians. It includes more than 250 classic and never-before

published photographs, a removable poster featuring the rare blueprints

of Fenway’s historic 1931 renovation, a double gatefold of Fenway’s

famous Green Monster, a foreword by Jim Lonborg, and a special

introduction by former Globe publisher Benjamin Taylor. With a

decade-by-decade narrative detailing the remarkable history of the Red

Sox—plus over 100 intriguing illustrated sidebars covering memorable

events like concerts, political rallies, papal visits, people profiles,

and much more—Fenway Park is a collector’s item as well as the perfect gift for any fan of baseball or Boston.

All are invited to attend this free program. Books will be available for purchase from The Harvard Coop Bookstore for $30. Light refreshments will be served.
