Where is the incentive to attend a game at Fenway Park? I can comprehend the idea of a pilgrimage from the hinterlands to see a relic of a bygone era. Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth played on the green turf and it is a must-see for baseball fans.
Fenway Park is now firmly entrenched as shrine status, a baseball Mecca or Luxor to which the faithful of the game of rounders must pay homage. A costly pilgrimage becomes a life’s mission on a baseball bucket list. The game becomes secondary as the experience outweighs all – Disney World for baseball adults and quite naturally if time an expense allows any offspring who can take their selfies as proof positive they were there.
