Cubs To Make First-Ever Regular Season Visit To Fenway Park In May 2011

PrintA first draft of the 2011 MLB schedule -- not anywhere near finalized -- was shared with ESPNBoston.com recently.
Buried in that link is this nugget:
The [Red] Sox are scheduled to play teams from all three National League divisions in interleague play. The Chicago Cubs are scheduled to visit May 20-22, Milwaukee is in June 17-19, followed by San Diego June 20-22.
Presuming this schedule holds -- and I don't see any reason it wouldn't, with this many details having leaked already -- that will be the Cubs' first regular season visit to Fenway Park and first since they played Red Sox in the 1918 World Series.

Good thing we found out now. Gives me almost 10 months to figure out how to get tickets….

The only MLB game I've managed to go to since moving to Germany in '77 was in Boston.
The ballpark, this was about 20 years ago, reminded me a bit of Wrigley Field. The same tradition drenched atmosphere.

I was at Fenway in 1983.
I know they’ve made quite a number of upgrades since then. But I enjoyed that day — it wound up being a doubleheader because the day before was rained out.

I've been to Fenway a couple of times,
the most recent in 2007. It’s cool because of what it is, but frankly, it’s a dump. Wrigley Field is a Taj Mahal by comparison.
I’d be tempted to go to this series, but it’s going to be a madhouse (and the small seats at Fenway are a real challenge if you’re 6-foot-7, 230 lbs.), so I’ll have to live it vicariously through you and the other Cubs fans likely to be there. Should be fun.

I think it's funny that both teams played in parks besides their own because of capacity issues.
Was there really that big of a difference in size between the parks in the two towns?

You know...
looking at this, it appears the 1918 WS was played at Fenway. My mistake. I’ll fix the post.

The BoSox won the WS during Fenway's inaugural season

I'm not too sure, Al
The baseball-reference listing also says the Chicago games were played at Weeghman Park (Wrigley Field) which I’m pretty sure is not right. So maybe they’re wrong about Fenway Park, too. Worth looking into.

The Chicago games in 1918 were definitely played at Comiskey Park.

Correct.
So the Cubs have won a game in Fenway before — they won Game 5 of that WS there.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
That was the rumor
We were still thin in the pitching staff and the BoSox had Ruth and Mays.
RIP Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010).
There's a book about that called "The Original Curse".
I reviewed it here last October.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
Yeah
I don’t really buy it, to be honest. We all know baseball was dirty, but the better team did win the 1918 World Series. Rumors like that got around because there was a lot of gambling in baseball. I just don’t think it happened in the 1918 World Series because the White Sox were caught when they fixed the 1919 World Series.
RIP Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010).
Agree with that.
The book is worth reading because it’s interesting history, but I don’t agree with the author’s conclusions.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
There's a lot about the Cubs not winning that inspires people to look for answers
I remember during the 2008 season, someone brought up the hundredth anniversary of the Merkle Game. People made a big deal about a broken bat going in the direction of second base during the 100th anniversary of the game at Shea and people talked about the Curse of Fred Merkle.
RIP Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010).
I think that the Cubs can't win a World Series at Wrigley Field
because there was a seminary on the site before the ballpark was built and Somebody upstairs never liked His consecrated land being used for something as secular as baseball. As good a theory as any.

It's not that they were caught.
Players had been caught, or suspected of, throwing games for years. The difference with the 1909 Sox was that it blew up in the press and the courts so that baseball HAD to do something about it. Comiskey himself tried to avoid doing anything about it until forced too and then he worked very hard to cover himself. Very much like the steroid scandal of recent history. Baseball aggressively swept the problem under the rug for many, many years. Also, if memory serves, the whole subject of the 1919 Sox came up because a Chicago grand jury was investigating the Cubs of 1918 and other fixed game allegations. They hadn’t been convened specifically to review the Sox case.

Researching the 1919 Black Sox,
I went through the new boxes of court testimony and other materials at the Chicago History Museum. Sox pitcher Ed Cicotte of the Sox testified that they got the idea of throwing the 1919 Series because they had heard that certain Cubs made some pretty good money throwing the 1918 Series.
Ruth had an awesome series, throwing 16 consecutive scoreless innings. (Same source as my post above.)

The 1918 World Series
Chicago (NL) played its games at Comiskey to take advantage of more seating. It was not played at Weeghman Park (Wrigley Field). No World Series games were played at Wrigley Field until October 8, 1929.
RIP Ronnie James Dio (July 10, 1942 - May 16, 2010).
Oddly enough...
… had they played the 1918 WS at Weeghman Park, the crowds that showed up would have easily fit there. WP had a capacity of about 22,000 (the upper deck was not built until the 1920’s). Game 1 of the 1918 WS drew 19,274; Game 2 drew 20,040.

It was a shortened season because of WWI.
And a lot of major league players were in the Army. Interest in baseball was down. Attendance for Game 6, the last game of the series that the Red Sox won in Boston to win the Series, was only 15,238, the lowest number of the entire series.

The Red Sox were at Wrigley in 2005.
Not likely they’d be scheduled to come back before the Cubs go to Boston.
Just a guess — the Cubs are likely to play the AL East in 2011, so they may be due for a visit to the new Yankee Stadium, too.

Yep and the Saturday game was the last time Greg Maddux hit a home run
Ironically I was in Vegas at the time, but I was running up and down from the pool to watch the game on Fox.

I was on vacation so things were kind of blur
I got back to the room JUST AFTER MADDUX hit the homer and he was literally thrown out of the dugout to take a bow as the crowd was screaming for him. I know he went up to Lee & Ramirez to ask " Did you hit a home run?". Maddux would rather hit a home run than pitch a no hitter.
FYI I did bet $20 on the game. My big gambling in Vegas.

Really?
The last time the Cubs played the Yankees was in New York in 2005 (they didn’t play them in 2008).
So my guess would be the next Chicago Cubs-New York Yankees series would probably be at Wrigley in May or June 2011.

Yeah, you may be right about that.
The Cubs may wind up with a trip to Baltimore. They haven’t been there since 2003.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
We went to two out three of those games in Baltimore.
At one of them, a fan ran into right field and threw corks at Sammy Sosa. I believe he was just coming off his suspension for the corked bat incident. The other had a long rain delay. By the time the game was resumed it seemed like the only fans left were Cub fans.

Great stuff! We must have passed each other along the concourse.
My daughter and I walked all the way around the park two or three times during that delay. Next time I recommend you stay in Baltimore. Some nice hotels around the Inner Harbor, within blocks of the ballpark. And you can visit the Babe Ruth museum which is close to the ballpark. And rent a car to go to DC!

I recall that the O’s fans around us were pretty impressed by all the Cub fans.
After the long rain delay, however, it was at least 85% Cub fans, of the couple thousand that were left in the ballpark.

The Orioles didn’t totally suck then.
"You can observe a lot just by watching." ~ Yogi Berra
Sounds right.
The Orioles fans I worked with were starting to get pretty disgusted, though. They hadn’t had a winning season in, what, six years? And they were getting kind of tired of the ballpark being the only reason for going to a game. (This sounded very familiar to me.) That’s how I got tickets to one of the games. A business associate shared a season ticket package with a couple other people and he was using more tickets for business purposes than for himself and family. We got tickets at the gate for the other one we went to.
Attendance was falling off from an average of 40,000+ to 30,000+ to where it is now at 20,000+

Courtesy of baseball historian Ed Hartig, this will be the Cubs’ first regular-season visit to play the Red Sox, but NOT their first visit ever:
The Cubs have played 12 regular season games at Fenway Park, going 4-8 against the Boston Braves in 1914-15.

I've been to Fenway many times
I’ve done a lot of business in Boston and think Fenway is an outstanding place to see a game. Wrigley and Fenway are 1 and 1A in my book. Hard to choose between them. I happened to be in Boston in 2004 the night they clinched the WS. I went to the CaskNFlagon the next day which is the equivalent of Murphy’s Bleachers. The mood was eerily silent. The fans were so shell shocked that they finally one everyone was just shaking their head and smiling. It was surreal and all I could thinks a bout was the same thing someday happening to the Cubs.
