The Hundredth Anniversary of Fenway Park

Fenway Park celebrates its hundredth anniversary this afternoon, with ceremonies and a game between the Red Sox and the Yankees, who inaugurated the ballpark, on April 20, 1912 (back when New York&rsquo;s team was known as the Highlanders). To mark the occasion, we are unlocking, for today only, John Updike&rsquo;s article about Ted Williams&rsquo;s final Fenway game, &ldquo;Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu,&rdquo; in which Updike coined the description of Boston&rsquo;s ballpark as &ldquo;a lyric little bandbox.&rdquo;
