Tucked away in the quiet town of Bells, Texas, is a remarkable homage to arguably the most legendary stadium in baseball history. With the official colors of Fenway, Stephen and Lana Newton have sculpted a beautiful Whiffle ball replica of the historic ballpark, featuring a wife and husband whose signature elements include the surging Green Monster, Pesky's Pole, and even a Citgo sign.
What began as a simple concept soon developed into a global location for Red Sox fans and baseball lovers.
The story behind the backyard
Fenway Park replica
This amazing project was inspired by the young son of the Newtons, who came after a memorable trip to Fenway Park in Boston in 2023 and developed a love for baseball. Fueled by his excitement, Stephen and Lana decided to construct a whiffle ball field that emulated the spirit and character of Fenway, but at a smaller scale, with the same few essential details.

Using paint colors matched to the original park's distinctive 'Green Monster' and 'Foul Pole Yellow,' the backyard field — now known as Home Run Ranch — became a place for more than just family fun. They added a replica scoreboard and personalized seats alongside the Green Monster, transforming the area into an undeniably impressive, ballpark-level tribute.
How the Fenway Park replica is bringing fans together
Located in Texas, the Fenway Park replica has been a tourist destination in the years since it opened in 2021, attracting visitors from around the world, and is especially appreciated by Red Sox diehards for the attempt to replicate their home ballpark away from home by over 2,000 miles.

The visitors told employees that they have good memories of when they went to attend the games at Fenway, and appreciated the devotion the Newton family had put into this team.
A die-hard Red Sox fan, with a nod to the old-school feel of the team that drafted him in the 1980s, said that walking on the field brought back memories of Red Sox games and the Kenmore Square scene. The replica has turned into a landmark in the community, providing a physical link to the sport — and now the team — in a place where it turns out to be just fine.

IND vs ENG: Broken but beautiful - How Shubman Gill got his century-hitting bat fixed before the first Test
Shubman Gill (right) scored century at Headingley with a repaired bat. (Screengrabs) Shubman Gill lit up the Headingley Cricket Ground with an unbeaten 127 on the opening day of the first Test match between India and England. The Indian captain reached his century in the final session of the day, marking a memorable start to his captaincy tenure. With the ton, Gill joined an elite group of Indians — Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavaskar, Dilip Vengsarkar, and Virat Kohli — who scored centuries in their first Test as captain. Remarkably, he had damaged one of his favourite bats during India's intra-squad match at Beckenham, Kent. India's new Test captain had texted Cricfix_batservices, a company that repairs broken and damaged bats in Kent. In a video posted by the company on Instagram, they explained how Shubman's bat got damaged and what they did to fix it. "So this bat actually belongs to an Indian Test match player," the shop's owner can be heard saying in the video. "That's right, today we're repairing a bat from India captain Shubman Gill. We received a text saying that Shubman had damaged the toe of one of his bats during a training session, and he needed us to come and pick it up and sort it out ahead of the Test match. "As you can see, it looks like he had to dig out a nasty yorker during training, and it left this nasty indentation and a couple of splits that we needed to fix. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với sàn môi giới tin cậy IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo We made sure to glue up all the cracks and then apply a small wedge into the toe, which pushed up the damaged area and made the toe nice and flat again. "Then we lightly sanded the bat, as it's one of Shubman's favourites and he didn't want to affect the ping in any way. "Coming to the end of the repair, we gave the bat a buff and polish to make it look nice and shiny. Shubman also asked us to apply some thread binding to the toe to keep the weak area tight, and he opted for a fabric facing, so we applied that as well. "Here's the finished bat, looking brand new once again — toe repair all sorted. It was really cool to see him using it again in training the next day. I'm wishing him all the best for the series ahead." One of the fans even commented, "Looks like it's working out for him! 127*." To which the owner replied, "Not sure whether to be happy or not 😄." India will resume Day 2 at 359 for 3. Vice-captain Rishabh Pant was batting on 65, giving Gill company when stumps were called. Game On Season 1 kicks off with Sakshi Malik's inspiring story.
