Physical Description; 16 unnumbered pages : illustrations (some color), portraits ; 31 cm. Summary; "Baseball fans rejoice! Now you can 'own' the most revered stadium in baseball history, right down to its hand-operated scoreboard. Fenway Park combines in one extraordinary package both a full-color model of Fenway that rises before your eyes when the book is opened and a detailed, illustrated history of America's most beloved baseball venue. This pop-up scale model of Fenway is a stunning achievement of book engineering. Constructed from over 50 separate pieces, it is the most complex pop-up ever created. Designed using the original stadium blueprints, it is accurate down to the finest detail and even features the Citgo sign looming in the skyline. The text re-creates Fenway's history and lore in words and color photos, with special attention to the evolution of the famed Green Monster; to history-making achievements by Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice, Dwight Evans, Wade Boggs, Roger Clemens, and other Red Sox heroes; and to Fenway's place as one of the most beloved sites in major league baseball. Fenway Park: Legendary Home of the Boston Red Sox is a tribute to one of the last great ballparks and a collectible treasure for baseball fans across the nation." -- Back cover.
