Fenway: 60 Years Of Night Baseball

Sixty years ago tonight, the Red Sox played the first night game at Fenway Park before a crowd of 34,510 (a larger crowd than that season's Opening Day).

Friday, June 13, 1947:
White Sox - 001 011 000 - 3  13
Red Sox - 000 050 00x - 5 8
The Red Sox were the third-to-last major league team to play home night games.
