Today I just want to say thanks to all of you who are following and reading this blog! The excitement is building as we head to the 2012 baseball season and Fenway Park’s 100th birthday!
For me, there is the added excitement as the final edit of Images of America, Fenway Park, has been completed and it is on its way to print!
It will be available April 9, 2012, just days before Fenway’s actual 100th birthday game on April 20th. It is available, at a discount for preorder at Amazon,
http://www.amazon.com/Fenway-Images-America-David-Hickey/dp/0738576883/ref=sr_1_44?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327256647&sr=1-44
And directly from the publisher as well, http://www.arcadiapublishing.com/9780738576886/Fenway-Park
It is a pictorial history of Fenway Park’s first 100 years with about 40 photos never before published. So if you like what you have seen and read here, you will love what you will see and read there! Not one photo you have seen on this blog, is in this book but Fenway’s story unfolds through the eyes and hearts of a plethora of different photographers, past and present. So if you love baseball, if you love history, if you love the Red Sox, if you love Fenway, you will love Images of America, Fenway Park! A tip of the Fenway cap to my co-authors David Hickey and Kerry Keene; we made it without killing each other, close but not quite, you’re the best!
Happy Birthday Fenway.
And so it is on this day in Fenway Park history, February 13, 2012.

About fenwaypark100
Hello and welcome, my name is Raymond Sinibaldi. An educator for more than two decades, a baseball fan for nearly 60 years, I have authored four books about baseball and her glorious history; with a fifth on the way in late spring of 2015; the first, The Babe in Red Stockings which was co-authored with Kerry Keene and David Hickey. It is a chronicle of Babe's days with the Red Sox. We also penned a screenplay about Babe's Red Sox days so if any of you are Hollywood inclined or would like to represent us in forwarding that effort feel free to contact me through my email. In 2012 we three amigos published Images of Fenway Park in honor of the 100th birthday of Fenway Park. That led to the creation of this blog. The following year, 2013 came my first solo venture, Spring Training in Bradenton and Sarasota. This is a pictorial history of spring training in those two Florida cities. The spring of 2014 brought forth the 1967 Red Sox, The Impossible Dream Season. The title speaks for itself and it also is a pictorial history. Many of the photos in this book were never published before. The spring of 2015 will bring 1975 Red Sox, American League Champions. Another pictorial effort, this will be about the Red Sox championship season of 1975 and the World Series that restored baseball in America. I was fortunate enough to consult with sculptor Franc Talarico on the “Jimmy Fund” statue of Ted Williams which stands outside both Fenway Park and Jet Blue Park Fenway South, in Fort Myers Florida. That story is contained in the near 300 posts which are contained herein. This blog has been dormant for awhile but 2015 will bring it back to life so jump on board, pass the word and feel free to contact me about anything you read or ideas you may have for a topic. Thanks for stopping by, poke around and enjoy. Autographed copies of all my books are available here, simply click on Raymond Sinibaldi and email me.
