Before Fenway Park became Boston’s cathedral of baseball, the city’s first American League champions called Huntington Avenue Grounds home. In this Road to October mini episode, we step back to the early 1900s and uncover the story of the quirky, short-lived ballpark where the Boston Americans — soon to be the Red Sox — made history. From the very first World Series in 1903 to Cy Young’s perfect game in 1904, the Grounds were the stage for some of baseball’s most defining moments. Join us as we revisit the oddities, triumphs, and legacy of the forgotten field that laid the foundation for Fenway.
