Fenway Saved is a lovingly drawn portrait, in text and photographs,
of Bostons fabled Fenway Park. It features interviews, essays,
and the unique, never-before-published photographs by Mike Ross.
Fenway Park, the oldest major league stadium in use today, has
seen the exploits of many baseball greats, from early hero Babe
Ruth to Ted Williams to todays current crop of Red Sox superstars
and their peers. With a movement under way to replace this cultural
landmark, and a predictable counter-movement organized to save
the park, this volume will certainly, in at least one sense, "save"
Fenway.
Bill Nowlin has co-authored one other baseball book, and has written
numerous baseball articles for publications like "Fan,"
"Nine," and the Boston Red Sox Official Scorebook magazine.
Currently he is working on a history of the Jimmy Fund, which
provides for childrens cancer research, and a biography
of former Red Sox infielder Johnny Pesky. Nowlin is one of the
founders of Rounders Records. He and his wife, Yleana, reside
in Cambridge, Massachusetts with their son Emmet.
