Special to the Los Angeles Times

Baseball or history lover? Both? You can save money while helping Boston’s Fenway Park celebrate its centenary. The Green Monster turns 100 on April 20, but the deal lasts all season.

The deal: The Hotel Commonwealth is offering a special 100th Anniversary Package priced from $339 to $479 a night during the 2012 Boston Red Sox season. The package includes lodging for two in a superior deluxe Fenway Room (470 square feet) with direct views of the ball field; two tickets to the official Fenway Park Tour, a 50-minute walking tour; and a welcome basket of Baby Ruth candy bars, old-fashioned Coke bottles, boxes of Cracker Jack and stacks of baseball cards.

When: April 22-Sept. 30.

Tested: This deal must be booked by phone rather than online. The deal is widely available from June through September, but pricier on nights the Sox are at home. For a one- or two-night stay on June 22, 23 or 24 or July 7 or 8, the package cost $499 a night (pretax). On Sept. 23-25, when the Red Sox play their last home games, the rate was $409 per night.

Info: Hotel Commonwealth, 500 Commonwealth Ave., Boston; (866) 784-4000.
