Fenway Park

• One place in Boston where you are sure to see a show (outside the theater) is Fenway Park, home to baseball's Boston Red Sox and the famous Green Monster. After an 86-year drought, the Red Sox won a World Series in 2004 and another in 2007, and the fans have continued to stick by their favorite team, especially when they face their arch rivals, the New York Yankees. Take a tour of the stadium, which is filled with history, or try and buy tickets for a game if you can.
