This Little Fenway Park in Essex Junction, Vermont Is a Big Deal

For those longing for the chance to play ball in Fenway Park, take a trip to Essex Junction, Vermont. In this season 3 segment of “Weekends with Yankee” (episode 307), we’re in Essex Junction to explore Little Fenway, a small replica of the Red Sox home field. At Little Fenway, home runs are won by wiffle balls and anyone is free to play. Don’t underestimate Little Fenway, though. This stadium is small, but it has a big impact, raising $6,000,000 for charity in its 17 years. You can call that a winning streak.
