1980s Fenway Park almost looks naked compared to now. Small upper deck, no Monster Seats. #RedSox pic.twitter.com/5dv8rJnNpM — Baseball Cathedrals (@MLBcathedrals) January 29, 2014

From 1912-33 Fenway Park had a ten foot high hill in front of the Left Field wall dubbed, “Duffy’s Cliff.” #RedSox pic.twitter.com/PP5rCWbQUJ
