What Is Up with the Ladder on the Green Monster at Fenway Park?

Body":" When former Red Sox pitcher Bill ‘Spaceman’ Lee first walked into Fenway Park and saw the park’s famous left-field wall, the Green Monster, he asked: “Do they leave it there during games?” They do, and over the decades it has become the signature feature of Fenway Park – the paint is Fenway Green, by the way – and ballpark architecture everywhere. It’s a tempting target for right-handed hitters, standing 37½ feet tall but a mere 310 feet from home plate, provides a very visual incentive for pitchers to keep the ball down, and is a challenge to left-fielders who must play it’s unpredictable caroms.

There’s certain to be one of those if a ball strikes the ladder that climbs up the side of the Monster. It was put there so home run balls could be retrieved from the netting above the wall; the netting has been replaced by seats but the ladder remains, and it’s in play. The wall is far from the only quirk in this oldest of Major League ballparks.

In center field, just a shade ... more.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
