Are the Yankees bad for the environment? That’s the somewhat tongue-in-cheek question based in Slate’s recent piece on the havoc the sporting world wreak’s on the environment.

Since a game’s environmental impact has everything to do with transportation, though, it’s tough to say which sport is the absolute greenest. Antiquated Fenway Park in Boston is arguably one of the most eco-friendly stadiums in the nation, because of the fact that parking is so scarce and most fans must take public transportation. That gives it a big leg-up on modern counterparts that claim to be green, whether by virtue of their solar-powered LED boards or their cup-and-bottle recycling programs.

Hmmm, Fenway Park, why does that name ring a bell?
