What is hurling? It’s been described as the fastest game on grass. Players use a wooden stick to hit a small ball. The field can be up to 145 yards long.

Why is Boston’s mayor hurling? Because the first hurling match played at Fenway Park in nearly 60 years is happening this fall. Tickets went on sale Thursday.
