Fenway Park, the home stadium of the Boston Red Sox,
is the oldest stadium among the 30 home stadiums of the Major League Baseball teams.
Completed in 1912 and remodeled in 2002, the distance to the left and right poles of this stadium is very short: 94.5m on the left and 92m on the right.
Also, the 11m high green monster on the left is standing, and the fence is also designed asymmetrically.
Because of this, outfield defenders have a hard time. In particular, the outfielders of visiting teams who are not familiar with Fenway Park are at a loss.
In 1941, Harry Jones of The Cleveland Plain Dealer wrote, “This stadium is a structural monster that has proven over the years to be a terrifying nightmare for visiting baseball clubs.”
Lee Jeong-hoo (San Francisco), who was visiting Fenway Park for the first time, also suffered.
On the 3rd (Korean time), in an unfamiliar match, Lee Jeong-hoo made a ridiculous mistake. With one out in the bottom of the 4th inning, Rafaella’s fly ball was obscured by sunlight and the catch was misplaced, allowing a double.
After two outs, Duran hit a sharp straight hit to center field at second base. Lee Jeong-hoo quickly ran out and caught the batted ball with a diving catch. The mistake was made up for.
The TV broadcaster praised Lee Jung-hoo’s defense, calling it an “amazing catch.”
SportsIllustrated.com wrote, “The Giants’ Lee Jeong-hoo completely made up for it after making an embarrassing mistake in the outfield.”
Lee Jeong-hoo had no hits in 4 at-bats on this day. A well-hit ball was caught in front of the outfield fence. Jeong-hoo Lee
, who started as center fielder No. 1, hit Boston’s right-handed starting pitcher Winkowski’s first pitch sinker at 96.4 miles per hour (155.1 km) in his first at-bat in the top of the first inning, but was caught by a straight hit to center field.
With one out in the top of the third inning, Lee Jeong-hoo hit Winkowski’s four-pitch, 89.1 mile (143.4 km) cutter, but this time he was dismissed by a fly ball to center field.
Lee Jeong-hoo, who appeared as the leadoff hitter in the top of the sixth inning, aimed for left-handed relief pitcher Bernardino’s second-pitch 79.1 mile (127.3 km) curve, but was out due to a fly ball to left field.
In his final at-bat in the 7th inning, he hit a three-pitch, 94.6 mph (152.2 km) four-seamer in the left-handed reliever’s department, but he walked away with a straight hit to left field.
Lee Jeong-hoo’s batting average went down to 0.250.
Lee Jeong-hoo hit a fly ball in all four at-bats that day.
