Abstract

The article considers the history of Fenway Park baseball field in Boston, Massachusetts in the 1920s. The losing record of the Boston Red Sox baseball team and its decline in attendance in that decade is considered. Events other than baseball games held at Fenway Park are discussed, including college football games, professional wrestling matches and concerts. It is noted that Massachusetts law prevented the Red Sox from playing baseball on Sundays, and that the city of Revere, Massachusetts was planning to construct a stadium to replace Fenway Park.
