Fenway Park saw 198 home runs last year — 145 of which were catchable. So where should you sit if you’re looking to increase your chances of taking home a highly-coveted game memento?

According to data collected by ESPN Stats & Information Group, the best spot to catch a home run ball is, not surprisingly, the Green Monster. A whooping 22 homers were caught in the standing-room-only area of Fenway’s beloved left field wall.

Home run hit by Dustin Pedroia on April 21, 2016.

The bleacher seats are your next best bet, as Bleachers 35, 40, 41, and 42 all saw at least eight long balls land in their sections.
