The Boston Red Sox’s record sellout streak at Fenway Park came to an end after 820 games over nearly 10 years before last night’s 8-5 loss to the Baltimore Orioles.
The run of full houses began on May 15, 2003, a year before the Red Sox ended an 86-year championship drought with the first of two World Series titles in four seasons. The club averaged 36,605 tickets sold per game during the streak, which totaled 794 regular-season games and another 26 in the postseason, the Red Sox said in an e-mailed news release.
