Fenway Park: It could be saved, but should it?
Fenway Park
Fenway Park played host to the 1999 All-Star Game.
Babe Ruth played there. Ted Williams hit home runs there. Yaz played the Wall, Fisk hit one off the pole, Boggs belted doubles, Pedro dominated and Nomar won batting crowns. Boston's Fenway Park was built in 1912, renovated in 1934 and became an American classic along the way. But the old place is ... well, old. In an era of new mallparks, Fenway faces an uncertain future.

ESPN's Peter Gammons says Fenway Park is a decaying, outdated stadium that should not be preserved. ESPN.com's Tom Farrey writes that National Historic Landmark status might actually give the Red Sox more options. ESPN's baseball analysts share their thoughts on whether Fenway should be saved. Many of our readers also shared their thoughts on the Red Sox' ballpark.
