Bruce Springsteen wrote the song “Wrecking Ball” in 2009 to commemorate the tearing down of the Meadowlands in New Jersey.
It wasn’t too long ago that Fenway Park was threatened with a similar fate.
But here we are celebrating the 100th birthday of America’s Most Beloved Ballpark, with a wrecking ball nowhere in sight, and Springsteen is back to play his third and fourth shows at the stadium in less than a decade.
These are glory days, indeed. (Someone must not have told the Red Sox, but we’ll leave that to another blog post.)
