FENWAY PARK:
“This is my favorite place in Boston. It’s the oldest ballpark in Major League Baseball and it’s been the home of the Red Sox since it opened in 1912. Things to notice are the wall called the Green Monster, and the single red seat in the bleachers that marks a 502-foot hit by Ted Williams—the longest home run hit at Fenway. And the Curse of the Bambino? That began when we traded Babe Ruth, nicknamed The Bambino, to the New York Yankees in 1919. After that, the Red Sox didn’t win another World Series for eighty-six years. The curse was officially lifted in 2004 when we finally won the World Series again.”
MAPPARIUM: “This is where Lord 6-Dog and Tzelek had their showdown. It’s a massive stained-glass globe, and it’s in the Mary Baker Eddy Library on Massachusetts Avenue.”
PEABODY MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY AND ETHNOLOGY:
“I wouldn’t have come here if Lola and the others hadn’t made me, because I’ve been here fifty million times. It’s part of Harvard, where my parents work, and it has one of the biggest Maya collections outside of Mexico, if you like that stuff. Oh, and it’s not actually in Boston, but across the river in Cambridge.”
