Why is There One Lone Red Seat at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts?

There are lots of baseball stadiums in America, but there really is just one Fenway Pahk. 

This living, breathing, piece of history has been serving up memories for Boston baseball fans since 1912. It is the oldest major league baseball stadium still in use.

In an era where countless historic venues are being repurposed, it's comforting to know that Fenway Park will continue to stand strong just as we left it. Its vintage atmosphere transforms us back in time and we love that about it.

If you consider yourself a true Red Sox fan, you probably already know about the significance of the lone red seat. It's seat 21 in row 37 of section 42, and it's known as the Ted Williams red seat.

It's such a Fenway landmark that you can see it as clear as day on the official seating chart when fans buy tickets from RedSox.com.

Rumor has it, Ted Williams hit a killer homerun ball that went 502 feet back on June 9, 1946.

MLB.com states ever since it was painted red in 1984, it has served as a target for left-handed hitters trying their best to measure up to one of the greatest hitters who ever played.

Has anyone done it since Ted Williams? The truth is no one has come even close.

There was a conversation on Reddit last year about the "etiquette" of the red seat. Someone was visiting Fenway Park from Texas and wanted to make sure they saw the famous lone red seat, but wanted to respect it accordingly.

Folks let them know in the comments that it's really just treated like a regular seat and you can even sit there if no one else is.

Have you ever sat in the lone red seat in Fenway Park?
