Pesky's Pole

Pesky's Pole is a foul pole located in right field at Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. It marks the boundary for fair and foul balls; a ball hit over the pole in the air is a fair home run, while one that hits it is a home run with a unique designation called a “Pesky’s Pole home run.” Named after Johnny Pesky, a Red Sox player and coach, the pole’s distinctive position close to the foul line influences gameplay and strategy, making it an iconic feature of the park’s dimensions.
