The charred remains were removed, increasing the size of foul territory there. Wooden bleachers were completed in center and right-center for the 1912 World Series. Infield grass was transplanted from Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds to Fenway in 1912. During the winter of 1933-1934, all of the wooden grandstands were replaced with concrete and steel. 7-inch net was placed atop the wall in left to protect windows on Landsdowne Street.
Wind usually helps the batters.
A new pressbox built in the late 1980s above home plate causes wind swirl that pushes foul balls back into fair territory. In 1940, in an effort to help Ted Williams hit home runs, the Red Sox added the right-field bullpens, known as Williamsburg, which reduced the distance to the fence by 23 feet. A seat in the right field bleachers is painted red to mark the spot where longest measurable home run ever hit inside Fenway Park landed. The 1946 roof boxes were replaced in 1982. The screen behind home plate, designed to protect fans and allow foul balls to roll back down onto the field of play, was the first of its kind in the majors.
