NBC NATIONAL NEWS — Fenway Park in Boston turns back the clock to celebrate its 100th birthday.

To help commemorate the century mark of the ballpark, a fan who's been there since the park opened threw out the first pitch.

Life-long Red Sox fan Bill Hogan Jr., who was born about a week before Fenway opened in the spring of 1912, came out to throw the ceremonial first pitch Saturday before the Red Sox took on the Tampa Bay Rays.

Eighteen of Hogan's great grandchildren were there to cheer him on.
