It's Been 100 Years; Share Your Fenway Memories

Opening Day at Fenway this Friday marks the team's 100th season, and we're wondering what the park and the team has meant to you all these years.

"For 100 years, the joy of Fenway has been the unadorned, uncomplicated joy of the game itself -- a joy that connects us to the thread of history like little else. Over the next few weeks, as 30 major league parks open for another season, cries of "Play ball!" will ring out in parks across the country. The message will be at its purest in Fenway."

Sports Illustrated writer Stephen Cannella had plenty more to say about Fenway in his recent column about the park, and we at Patch are hoping you'd like to add to the conversation as this auspicious Opening Day looms.  What does Fenway Park mean to you?  What are your memories of Fenway?
