Top Five Digital Ballparks: #1 Fenway Park



...because really what else did you expect?

Fenway Park is the quintessential American ballpark. It was opened in 1912 and features many hallmarks of days gone by. The Green Monster in left actually was a typical staple of ballparks which were tightly squeezed into cities back at the beginning of the 20th Century. Several stadiums featured large walls right on a street back in those times.

But Fenway is the only park which has survived to this day.

Other than the 37 foot Green Monster, you also have the highly quirky "Pesky's Pole" in right, which sits just 302 feet from home, which is the shortest outfield distance in Major League Baseball. The wall juts backwards and quickly gains ground away from home plate, as the distance in right center field is 380 feet from home.

The park actually deepens out to 420 feet in deep right center, which personally I have hit an inside of the park home run with Vlad Guerrero (!!!) with a ball hitting out there and careening away from an outfielder.

What is your favorite aspect of Fenway Park?

Also...apologies for not getting to #1 on my list sooner. I've been doing a lot of filming in my other gig, you can check out what all we do on my other YouTube channel (hint: chasing tornadoes).

Re: Top Five Digital Ballparks: #1 Fenway Park

Fenway is the only park to survive to this day? What about Wrigley, or do you mean Parks with big Monsters? Because the Big Monster as we know it today didn't really take it's shape till the 30's when the high wooden fence which WAS typical of ballparks of that era was replaced with concrete and tin with the Scoreboard installation and then in 1947 when it was finally painted green (and then later in the 70's when Plastic was added) Other then the exterior of the Pavilion, not much of the Stadium is original to 1912, the grandstands and bleachers have been mainly built upon in the 30's + much like Wrigley and over the years levels have been placed that have raised the press box higher.

Anyway I agree that this is the best Digital Stadium with just how beautiful it looks, especially when the lighting and shadows play off the Wall.

Had a feeling that if Wrigley was #2, Fenway had to be #1. Glad I wasn't disappointed.

Best digital stadium in baseball, hands down. Best ballpark in real life, hand down. No contest. Best part of the park is the Red Seat where Ted Williams parked one 502 feet through a guys hat.

I have a hard time with any Fenway that doesn't have the Citgo sign.

Well, this wouldn't be Luke Scott's number 1, that's for sure.
