In what has been an awful week for the city of Boston, today is a day to celebrate the opening of perhaps its most beloved landmark, at least for sports fans. On this day in 1912, Fenway Park hosted its first game, a 7-6 Red Sox win over the NY Highlanders (renamed the Yankees the following season). The stadium has since become an icon, and saw the "Curse of the Bambino" end in 2004 as the Sox finally won a World Series after an 86 year drought.
