Red Sox Fans Are Rebelling Over The Ketchup At Fenway Park

There aren’t many baseball stadiums—or, for that matter, sporting venues—that are steeped in the amount of history and tradition that surrounds Fenway Park.

The Boston Red Sox have called that hallowed ground home since Fenway opened all the way back in 1912, and while it’s been subjected to plenty of changes since then, its most iconic elements—including the Green Monster (and the manual scoreboard it houses), Pesky’s Pole, and its uncomfortably tiny wooden seats—have remained largely unchanged.
