A PEEK AT THE PAST
Taking the Mystery Out of Boston History
HUNTINGTON
AVENUE GROUNDS
P
rior to filling the role of lovable losers for nearly
nine decades, the Boston Red Sox were powerhouses in the early days of Major League Baseball’s
burgeoning American League. Known as the Boston
Americans when the team was founded in 1901,
the Sox appeared in the very first World Series in
1903 against the elder National League’s Pittsburgh
Pirates. One of the sites of that landmark event was
the original home of Boston’s baseball heroes, the
Huntington Avenue Grounds.
In its formative years, professional baseball
was dominated by the National League, which was
founded in 1876. Twenty-five years later, the upstart
American League was created, with Boston—already
home to a National League team that at times had
been called the Red Stockings, but later became the
Braves—as a charter franchise. The Boston team—informally known as the Pilgrims, Beaneaters, Puritans
and other nicknames before officially adopting the
Red Sox moniker in 1908—played its first home game
on May 8, 1901 at its newly built field, the Huntington
Avenue Grounds, which was erected for $35,000 in a
former circus lot across a set of railroad tracks from
the Braves’ South End Grounds. The stadium, which
had a capacity of 9,000 when it opened and was
later expanded to 11,500, had many quirks, including the deepest center field (635 feet) in baseball
(expanded in 1908 from its original 530 feet) and a
tool shed in center field that was considered part of
the field of play.
Many of baseball history’s most iconic players
were on those early Boston teams, including pitcher
Cy Young, who threw the modern era’s first perfect
game in 1904 at the Huntington Avenue Grounds.
The bygone arena also hosted the first World Series
game, held between Boston and the Pirates of the
rival National League. The Cy Young-led Boston team
won the best-of-nine contest, 5–3, including the last
four games. By the end of the 1911 season, however,
the days of the Huntington Avenue facility, which was
only leased by the team, were numbered. Then-Red
Sox owner John I. Taylor moved the team into the
still-standing, team-owned Fenway Park for the 1912
season and the old digs were soon demolished.
The former Huntington Avenue Grounds site is
today occupied largely by Northeastern University’s
Cabot Physical Education Center (400 Huntington
Ave.). A plaque dedicated in 1956 marks the spot
of the left field foul pole, and in a nearby quad (on
World Series Way), a statue of Cy Young erected
in 1993 sits where the Huntington Avenue Grounds’
pitchers mound was. About 60 feet away, another
marker commemorating the first World Series indicates where home plate used to be. There’s even a
World Series Exhibit Room at the Cabot Center housing artifacts of the 1901–1911 Sox. —Scott Roberto

HUBBUB
PAPA ON THE POINT
Boston may be a far cry from many of the usual haunts—Cuba, Paris, Spain,
Key West—associated with iconic American author Ernest Hemingway, yet
what many people may not know is that the John F. Kennedy Presidential
Library and Museum (refer to listing, page 20) on Dorchester’s Columbia
Point is home to the Ernest Hemingway Collection, a treasure trove of the
late writer’s personal papers, manuscripts and mementos. It’s no surprise
then that the first major museum show dedicated to his legacy, Ernest
Hemingway: Between Two Wars, is on display at the waterside institution
through the end of the year. Learn the process of one of the 20th century’s
greatest wordsmiths in this exhibit featuring photographs, letters, artifacts
and drafts of his works from this most fertile period of creativity from
1919–1939, as well as medals he earned for being wounded while acting as
an ambulance driver in war-torn Italy in 1918.

FIRST CLASS GLASS
This spring, Schantz Galleries ProjectSpace: Boston (211
Newbury St., 413-298-3044, schantzgalleries.com) gives
visitors and native Bostonians alike the opportunity to gaze
upon the brilliant glass works of renowned Italian master
Lino Tagliapietra in the show A Golden Age of Glass. On
display until May 22, the exhibit boasts elegant creations
crafted from glittering, copper-infused avventurine
glass—both blown and fused—by one of the best glass
artisans in the world. The Muranese maestro himself, who is
celebrating 70 years perfecting his art, appears at the
May 14 opening reception, which takes place from 4–6 p.m.,
and is also in town to collaborate with the renowned
MIT Glass Lab in Cambridge May 16–20.

STEPPING UP
Two decades into its reign
as the supreme showcase of
Irish step dancing, Riverdance
(refer to listing, page 19) once
again returns to Boston’s
Wang Theatre May 10–15 as
part of its 20th anniversary
world tour. In celebration of
this landmark event, the show
has updated its costumes,
lighting and projections, while
adding the brand-new number
“Anna Livia,” which features
the female members of the
troupe in an a capella hardshoe number. There will likely
be a pent-up demand due to
the show’s four-year absence from North American stages, so get tickets now
and see for yourself why more than 25 million people in 46 different countries
have flocked to this international dance and music sensation since its smash-hit
debut in Dublin in 1995.
CIRCLE OF LIFE
The Rose Kennedy Greenway (617-292-0020,
rosekennedygreenway.org) has certainly attracted a lot of
attention since its official debut in 2008. This linear park
system covering the area where the old Central Artery
used to stand has increased its already prominent profile in
recent years by hosting more and more temporary public art
exhibits. The latest such display may have outdone them all,
however, as it features the work of one of the most prominent
artists in the world, Chinese provocateur Ai Weiwei. His Circle
of Animals/Zodiac Heads consists of bronze busts depicting
the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, which have been placed
on 10-foot-high stands and situated around the popular Rings
Fountain, in prime position to delight visitors throughout the
summer and into the fall before the exhibit closes in October.
GOING APE
The challenges of getting just the right gift for a one-year-old can
be numerous, but fear not—the Franklin Park Zoo (refer to listing,
page 46) has you covered. Your presence will be gift enough
as the youngest of the zoo’s family of gorillas, Azize, celebrates
this important milestone. Observe the whole band of western
lowland gorillas as they enjoy special treats and zookeepers give
presentations so you can learn all about these critically endangered
creatures. Attendees for the May 14 celebration, taking place from
10 a.m.–1 p.m., can sign a giant birthday card, and the first 200
people get the chance to indulge in some birthday cake from
Montilio’s Baking Company. —Scott Roberto

to reside. In this neighborhood, visitors can

holds the Museum of African-American
History, as well as the Bull and Finch Pub,
the inspiration for the popular TV show,
“Cheers.” Charles Street, located at the flat
