Boston's Fenway Park is one of the 'best views' in the US, travel website says. See why
Massachusetts is so full of postcard-worthy locations that it can be hard to pin down which one is really the best sight to see. But travel website loveEXPLORING recently attempted it, creating a list of the top 50 best views in each state in the U.S., and a very familiar landmark in Massachusetts made the list. "While your rundown of the best views in America's 50 states may differ, this is where you can bet your bottom dollar we'd be pointing our cameras," LoveExploring said. Here's where loveEXPLORING said is the best view in Massachusetts. Fenway Park LoveExploring chose Fenway Park because they said the baseball stadium is fundamental to the culture and soul of the Commonwealth. More top destinations: These are T+L's best international and US cities (with an unexpected American no. 1) What LoveExploring said about it "A trip to Massachusetts without experiencing the drama and sporting history of Fenway Park – home of the Boston Red Sox– is like leaving onions and condiments off your stadium hot dog – a real swing and a miss." Fenway Park opened on April 20, 1912, according to Major League Baseball. The Red Sox's first official game at the stadium was played that same day, as Boston played against the New York Highlanders, and would go on to win 105 games in the regular season. "The most famous seat in the house is The Red Seat – a lone crimson dot in a sea of green in Section 42 of the right-field bleachers," loveEXPLORING said. "It marks the spot where Ted Williams launched the longest home run in Fenway history on June 9, 1946, a 502-foot blast that punctured a spectator's straw hat." You can visit Fenway Park at 4 Jersey St. in Boston, Massachusetts. Rin Velasco is a trending reporter. She can be reached at rvelasco@

FBI joins manhunt after congressional student intern shot dead in DC
The FBI has joined efforts to find who shot and killed a congressional intern in Washington, D.C. Eric Tarpinian-Jachym, a 21-year-old student at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, was shot around 10:28 p.m. on June 30, according to police, and died on July 1. The Metropolitan Police Department said the shooting happened on the 1200 block of 7th Street, Northwest, adding that a 16-year-old male and adult female were also shot and taken to area hospitals. Investigators said multiple people exited a car and began firing shots at a group of people, which included Tarpinian-Jachym. Officials believe Tarpinian-Jachym wasn't the intended target of the shooting. In a statement to Fox News Digital, an FBI spokesperson said the agency is assisting the Metropolitan Police Department in the investigation. "We are aware of the incident and are assisting our law enforcement partners," the spokesperson said. A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police Department told Fox News Digital that no suspects are in custody. Fox News contributor and former Washington, D.C., homicide detective Ted Williams told Fox News Digital he believes the FBI is getting involved since the death involved a congressional intern. "The FBI would be involved primarily because he was, in fact, a congressional aide. So that's one of the reasons that the FBI would actually get involved in this matter," Williams said. Williams called the shooting a "sad, senseless incident," adding that "this is not the exception, but the norm in the District of Columbia." "The sad commentary about being in the District of Columbia or any of these metropolitan cities is that they are all, unfortunately, in a position where these kinds of acts can take place," Williams said. "I don't think you should feel safe in any area, in any metropolitan city." Tarpinian-Jachym was an intern for Rep. Ron Estes, R-Kan., according to a statement from his office. He was set to return for his senior year at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where he majored in finance with a minor in political science. "I will remember his kind heart and how he always greeted anyone who entered our office with a cheerful smile," Estes said in a statement. "We are grateful to Eric for his service to Kansas' 4th District and the country. Please join Susan and me in praying for his family and respecting their privacy during this heartbreaking time." Tamara and Robert Jachym, Eric's parents, told Fox News Digital in a statement they are "devastated" by his death. "We are devastated by the tragic and senseless loss of our beloved Eric, a 21-year-old young man full of promise, purpose, and heart. Eric was an exceptionally bright and kind soul, with a deep love for the outdoors," his parents said. "He found joy and peace in nature – whether hiking through the woods or casting a line into a quiet stream while fishing. He loved deep sea fishing, fishing off the shore in the Atlantic, and river fishing." "Eric was passionate about learning and dedicated to public service. His recent internship with Representative Ron Estes in Washington, D.C. meant the world to him. He believed deeply in using his voice and talents to make the world a better, more just place," they added. The Metropolitan Police Department is offering a $25,000 reward for anyone who provides information leading to an arrest and conviction, and are encouraged to contact (202) 727-9099.

Which 10 Players Have the Most Hits in MLB History?
Ted Williams, one of baseball's greatest players, said the hardest thing to do is to hit a baseball. He might be right. Even the best hitters in MLB history fail to record a hit in most of their at-bats. The player with the best batting average in MLB history hit .366 in his career, meaning he failed to record a hit in nearly 45% of his at-bats. What's more, no player has hit .400 in a season since Williams did so in 1941. That said, you know you're special if you're among the top 10 in MLB hits. Let's take a look at who makes that list. 10. Paul Molitor: 3,319 Molitor was arguably one of the most consistent hitters of all time, recording 140 or more hits in 16 of his 21 seasons. A steady force in the Milwaukee Brewers' lineup for nearly two decades, Molitor also led the majors in hits on two occasions. 9. Albert Pujols: 3,384 MLB has seen an infusion of foreign-born stars over the last few decades. As of 2025, Pujols is the best hitter in that group. The St. Louis Cardinals icon has the most hits and home runs (703) for a foreign-born player. 8. Carl Yastrzemski: 3,419 "Yaz" had a swing made for Fenway Park, as evidenced by his hit total. The Boston Red Sox icon had a career .305 batting average at his home ballpark, while he led the majors in hits twice. He also led the majors in batting average on three occasions, holding a .285 career batting average. 7. Honus Wagner: 3,430 While some might know Wagner for being the face of the most popular trading card in baseball history, his prowess at the plate helped create value for the card. He had 16 seasons in which he had a batting average of at least .300, leading the National League in the stat eight times in his 21-year career. 6. Derek Jeter: 3,465 The New York Yankees have had several great hitters in their storied history. How else do you think they won 27 titles? Jeter has the most of any player to wear the pinstripes, hitting .310 in his historic career. His strong hitting ability was a key reason why the Yankees won their last five World Series titles, and his 3,000th hit was memorable as he hit a home run to reach the landmark. 5. Tris Speaker: 3,515 Speaker was not only one of the best hitters in MLB history, but he is also the league's doubles king. His 752 career doubles are the most of all time and nearly 50 more than any other player. Additionally, he recorded a batting average of .300 or better in 18 of his 22 seasons. 4. Stan Musial: 3,630 "Stan the Man's" hitting prowess helped him become one of the best hitters in MLB history. As he led the National League in hits on seven occasions, Musial was named an All-Star in every season he played (excluding his 12-game 1941 season), playing in the Midsummer Classic 21 times. 3. Hank Aaron: 3,771 MLB's home run king is also one of the best hitters in history. Aaron led the league in hits and batting average twice in his legendary career. He also finished in the top 10 in the National League in hits 13 times and batting average a dozen times. The most hits he had in a season came in 1959, recording 223 that year to go with a .355 batting average. 2. Ty Cobb: 4,191 Cobb might not be the all-time hits leader, but he is MLB's all-time batting average leader. His .366 batting average is the only career batting average over .360 in league history (min. 5,000 career plate appearances), as he led the majors in that stat on 12 occasions. In two of those years, Cobb had a batting average of .400, as he also led the majors in hits eight times. 1. Pete Rose: 4,256 Rose is the MLB's all-time hit king, leading the majors in hits on seven occasions in his historic career. While no one has more hits than Rose in league history, he became better known for his gambling scandal as a manager, which led MLB to ban him for life. That ban was lifted in 2025, making him eligible for induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Check out all of our Daily Rankers . Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?
