Fenway Park was built in 1912, and opened the same week the Titanic sank. (Maybe that should have been an omen!) At the time, its seating capacity of over 35,000 made it one of the largest ball fields in the majors. In their first game at Fenway, on April 20, 1912, the Red Sox beat the New York Highlanders (who would later become the Yankeees) 7-6 in extra innings. The Sox went on that year to win the A.L. pennant and defeat the New York Giants in the World Series. What a way to start!
