Until 1933, there was a 10 foot incline in front of Fenway Park’s Green Monster known as “Duffy’s Cliff.” It was named after Red Sox outfielder Duffy Lewis, who measured the incline, which was at a 15 percent grade. The cliff served to support the left field wall and it also compensated for the difference in grades between the playing field and Landsdowne Street, which is located behind the wall.
