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.
