Happy Birthday, Fenway Park!

Fenway Park is celebrating its one-hundred year anniversary this season! Both as a Red Sox fan and a fan of baseball, I’m obviously very proud of Fenway. I’m also kind of a nudge when it comes to factual inaccuracies. I don’t live in a glass house, so I’m free to throw rocks at others when I choose. Therefore, I regret to tell the world that this is not Fenway’s 100th season, but its 101st.

The math (season on the left, year on the right):
