[MassHistPres] : A Sports Section full of preservationist

[Donald A Mauch]

Received this morning as an Easter gift, The Boston Globe's, "100th Anniversary Fenway Park" 278 page hardbound book by John Powers and Ron Driscoll.  Among an incredible collection of photos and stories, is a poster of Fenway Park blueprints.  What a fantastic addition to my library.
Kudos to the "preservationists," over on Morrissey Blvd.  They've outdone themselves.
