The Red Sox are one of the most famous franchises in all of sports, and their fans are inarguably amongst the most passionate. Through times both good and lean, Red Sox Nation has stood by its team, a largely star-crossed franchise only recently emerging with World Series Championships in 2004 and 2007. THE BOSTON RED SOX: ESSENTIAL GAMES OF FENWAY PARK looks back on some of the greatest games and most legendary, fan-favorite

Whether it’s the gritty heroics of Carlton Fisk, the soaring excitement of a young Roger Clemens or the brash dominance of Pedro Martinez, one thing is clear: the history of the BoSox is indelibly woven into the fabric of baseball, and it all begins at the source -- Fenway Park.
