BOSTON – America’s favorite pastime is back, and Fenway is buzzing. 

The Red Sox opened their 2023 campaign at Fenway Park on March 30 with a three-game homestand against the Baltimore Orioles. They won two of the three competitions, and are just below the .500 mark now three weeks into the season. 

The smell of buttery popcorn and roasted sausages filled the air as the Red Sox faithful flooded into the historic ballpark. Boston University News Service Belle Fraser captured some scenes at Fenway Park.
