Congratulations to Boston Red Sox for winning the 2004 World Series
Some history
Fenway Park, the home of Boston Red Sox tickets, opened on April 20, 1912, the same day as Detroit's Tiger Stadium and before any of the other existing
big league parks. It held 35,000 fans then and today it holds 36,298. The Red Sox did fit 47,627 people into Fenway
for a September 22, 1935, doubleheader against the New York Yankees. Fire laws in the 1940's ended that type of
overcrowding and the biggest postwar Boston Red Sox tickets crowd was 36,388 for a game against the Cleveland Indians in 1978. The surface
is Bluegrass.

Ted Williams and the .406 Club
In 2003, the former "600 Club" was renamed the .406 Club to honour the greatest Red Sox who ever lived and to commemorate his remarkable 1941 season.
In 1941, Ted Williams went into the last day of the season hitting .3996, an average that officially rounds up to .400.
