Hah, you wish, the green monster is clearly missing. Unless they tore it down and rebuilt seats there. Then put it back because I was over there yesterday.

Haha, I saw a baseball field and automatically knew it was Fenway. But there is no green. What is it? Unless it is some oversized college or league field.

So what is it Cynette?

My student button designers convinced me it was Fenway Park. But you are right, the Green Monster is missing.

I'm researching but I actually can't seem to locate the image or another field with the same features as the one in the button. There appears to be a USA cut in the outfield; I'm hoping that will help me identify it.

Since I'm quite the Yankees fan, I'm wondering if the students have played a practical joke on me.

Well, this will definately be a limited edition Boston recognition button!

That's Fenway. The field on the button clearly isn't. Besides, you can see "USA" cut into the outfield.

For those of us unfamiliar with Boston, would you mind explaining what the other four buttons are? (Well, besides the Paul Revere one. )

Sigh. The baseball park appears to be Anaheim Stadium. But if you look carefully, the Red Sox were playing the Angels that day!

Actually, I have no idea, no explanation. I'm pretty much speechless at this point. We will just pretend they are a Boston scene!
Shh, it can be our little secret!

No tortoise and hare button?

At first squint it did look like Fenway, but with additional bleachers in front of the Green Monster.

Except Fenway Park is green. =P

How about a First Telephone Button.

I would have recognized Yankee Stadium, so they wouldn't have gotten away with it.

If I had picked the designs, I might have gone with the "Make Way for Ducklings." There is probably a hundred choices for great landmarks and images from Boston. So much history and culture! But I liked our team's selections - especially when I thought it was Fenway Park!

More for this Game Hint: 42.349905 -71.076072 342.242026 and all. But yes: Make Way for Ducklings over the Mass State House any day.

Of course the button photo didn't have green on the wall; there were those bleachers in the way. But I was looking at the Batter's Eye: it looked in the right place but a little different, which was confirmed in JackG's photo. :shrug: Guess I'm not much of a sports fan.
