Number One: Fenway.


It may not be the most comfortable place to watch a baseball game but it has got to be one of the best. Zany acoustical theories aside, Fenway is the soul of this ball club. It's a business (everybody understands that) but owners, general managers, players, fans--they all come and go. Fenway is still here. It's the only thing that keeps the Sox from being a slightly poorer version of the Yankees. Just go to a game with someone who's never been here. Watch them take the place in. Listen to them demand to know how anyone could think about tearing it down. It's a special place.
