During its 15th year of existence, Fenway Park was nearly destroyed by a major fire on May 8, 1926. Constructed mostly of wood, there had been a handful of minor fires inside the Red Sox' home stadium to that point, but this one caused a great deal of damage. This light wooden bleacher seat from Fenway survived the blaze and, in 2004, was rescued from a nearby dumpster. There is some faded green paint on one side and bolt holes on the other, as well as some carved messages like "MITCHELL" and "HARTFORD." It can be yours, nearly a century after it escaped the flames. 94x8x2".  Comes with LOA.
