"Williamsburg" is the name, invented by sportswriters, for the bullpen area built in front of the right-center field bleachers in 1940. It was built there to allow Ted Williams, and other left-handed batters to hit more home runs, since it was 23 feet closer than the bleacher wall.

Take the MBTA commuter rail to South Station. Switchover to the MBTA red line and go inbound to Park Street. Change over to the Green Line and take any train EXCEPT the "E" train to Kenmore square. Fenway is a 1/2 mile walk from Kenmore.

There is no way to do it directly as far as I know. You would take an Amtrak train from NYC with destination Boston, which will terminate at South Station. I would suggest you then ask for further info at the info desk, if it is manned. However, it is very simple even without doing that. Go downstairs to the MBTA part of the station, and get on a Red Line car for Alewife Station (i.e., going north). You only stay on that subway car for 2 stops - get off at Park Street station, go to the appropriate location for the Green Line (easily marked with signage), and wait for a car going to any of these: Cleveland Circle, Riverside, or Boston College. Get on for about 5 stops - check with the driver when you get on (front car) if in doubt - get off at Kenmore station and walk to the park (about 3 blocks). If you want to get just a bit closer, make sure you choose a Riverside subway train (at South Station) and then you can go one more stop past Kenmore to the Fenway station - a shorter walk over to the park from there.

Fenway has been their park since 1912, they were created in 1908 and in 1908-1911 they played in miscellanious stadiums

You would need to have a certificate of authenticity. Yes, you could sell your shoes on ebay, but because of the economy you'd get dirt for them.
