IN PICS: A unique Fenway Park replica baseball field that is attracting Red Sox fans globally
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.

Vedang Raina takes a swipe at rumoured girlfriend Khushi Kapoor: 'You like any boy with a guitar...'
Rumoured couple Vedang Raina and Khushi Kapoor's playful chemistry shines in a promotional video for 'The Summer I Turned Pretty.' Their fan-fueled debate about 'Team Conrad' versus 'Team Jeremiah' takes a hilarious turn when Vedang teases Khushi about her taste in guitar-playing boys. The video promotes the show's third season, which centers on Belly's complicated love triangle. Vedang Raina and Khushi Kapoor may not have officially confirmed their relationship, but their playful chemistry is hard to miss. In a new promotional video for The Summer I Turned Pretty, the rumoured couple engage in a cheeky fan-fueled debate that ends with Vedang throwing a hilarious dig Khushi's way—leaving fans amused and curious in equal measure. Team Conrad vs Team Jeremiah The video opens with Khushi —an unapologetic Conrad loyalist—visibly shocked as Vedang confidently announces he's 'Team Jellyfish' (aka Jeremiah). Vedang defends his pick, calling Jeremiah the nicer, greener-flag sibling. What follows is a laugh-out-loud exchange: when Khushi praises Conrad as Belly's childhood crush, Vedang quips, 'You like any boy with a guitar.'

‘Ahaan Panday, Aneet Padda would never be ‘nakchade' stars,' says their ‘Saiyaara' co-star Rajesh Kumar known for playing Rosesh from ‘Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai': ‘He would apologise…'
Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda have turned into stars overnight as their film 'Saiyaara' hit the screens on Friday, July 18. In just five days, Mohit Suri 's directorial has pulled in over ₹132 crore at the Indian box office, with a staggering ₹24 crore and ₹25 crore collected on its first Monday and Tuesday respectively. The film is expected to cross Rs 150 crore on day 6 which is Wednesday. Not only are the newcomers holding their own, but they're also shaking up the box office performance of films headlined by veterans like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan, and Aamir Khan. What's equally surprising is the largely positive reception they've received—rare for star kids in the current social media climate, with very minimal trolling or criticism. Actor Rajesh Kumar , who plays Aneet's father in Saiyaara, recently opened up about his experience working with the two fresh faces. Speaking to Galatta, he revealed,'I told both Aneet and Ahaan that make me meet your parents. I just went and thanked them for bringing them up so well and that is what is reflecting on screen. They are not corrupted. Having said that, there is a long way for them to go.' For those not in the know, Rajesh is known for playing the iconic character of Rosesh from 'Sarabhai Vs Sarabhai'. Recalling the first day on set, Rajesh shared a touching memory about Ahaan's debut shot. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Compare Spreads: Bitcoin vs Ethereum CFDs IC Markets Learn More Undo He said, 'Ahaan was so nervous before his first shot. We shot that together. The ones who have watched the film will remember the scene where he quietly hands me a bag. That was his first shot for the film. But, he did it so well in just the third take. After the shot ended, people clapped for him and then he felt relaxed.' Talking about Aneet, Rajesh recounted how her roots helped him with his role He said, 'When I was first introduced to Aneet, Mohit told me she will solve my Punjabi problem in case I want to stick to that language for that movie as we are Batras in it. And then till the time we were shooting together, she would speak to me in hardcore Punjabi. She asked me to call her 'puttu' in place of beta in the movie.' Rajesh also praised the new generation of actors for their level of preparation and professionalism. 'The new generation of actors are extremely groomed. They are pake hue, manjhe hue kalakaar. Barring a few, who might have not prepared as much. But the number of newcomers I have worked with are ready for the market, and Bollywood. I can tell you that these are the faces who are going to be relevant for the coming 25-30 years. Their ability to adapt things is exceptional. And these are the actors who have worked hard for success,' he said. He added that despite the massive success of Saiyaara, both Ahaan and Aneet will remain grounded. He said, 'If you look into Aneet's interviews, you will see that she is yet to believe that her film is working wonders. When people realise things late, success doesn't take over them. These people are so grounded that I don't think Aneet or Ahaan will ever be a 'nakchade' (snooty) stars. They will be sought after actors.' Opening up on the film's success, Rajesh credited the trust and dedication behind the scenes. He said, 'Mohit would wait until he got the shot he had visualised. Every time we took a shot for over four times, Ahaan would walk forward and apologise. He didn't have a 'give up' attitude. This film was all about trust. This film was all about YRF believing in Mohit Suri. And Mohit Suri believing in this new couple and the supporting cast. We never thought it would be a blockbuster.'
