In this image of Fenway from 1936, there's an angle of the stands jutting into foul territory. I wonder if any Sox RF (Dusty Cooke?) slammed into that oddity.
Having to play deeper (due to no bullpens) may have made this angle down the foul line almost irrelevant to the right fielder? It certainly didn't get memorialized like Duffy's Cliff.
Here's a different view from 1930? There was a bullpen tucked in there.
Right, and the area became known as “Williamsburg”. Funny that Ted dropped off to “just” 23 home runs the year after they were installed, 1940. Trying too hard? He led the league in HRs the next two years though. I don’t know how long the Williamsburg name persisted. Also, where were the bullpens before Williamsburg?
