Fenway Park leads the majors in no-hitters with 14, more than any present ballpark or defunct stadium. Fenway became the Boston Red Sox franchise’s home in 1912 after the team moved from Huntington Avenue Grounds, which hosted a 1904 perfect game by Cy Young, a 1905 no-hitter by Bill Dinneen, a 1911 no-hitter by “Smoky” Joe Wood and two no-hitters by Boston’s National League team.
Here are the no-hitters thrown at Fenway:
