Ground rule triple at Fenway is a ball bouncing off the ladder on the green monster and going in the stands
I think

No such thing as a ground rule triple at Fenway as far as I know. There's nothing in the ground rules about it.
Homey G, if it hits the ladder and goes out of the park, it's a ground rule double.

No such rule at Fenway. The only way to get a ground rule triple at any park is to have a fielder use his cap or throw his glove at the ball .

Never heard of it. Ground rule triple is technically a runner being awarded bases due to a batted ball being touched by displaced equipment such as cap or thrown glove.
Why do you think Fens would need a ground rule triple? On a ball bouncing over in deep center field?
7.05
Each runner including the batter-runner may, without liability to be put out, advance --
b) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately touches a fair ball with his cap, mask or any part of his uniform detached from its proper place on his person. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril;
(c) Three bases, if a fielder deliberately throws his glove at and touches a fair ball. The ball is in play and the batter may advance to home base at his peril.

No, but don't you think there should be? I mean, Fenway Park is REALLY hard to get a HR, once you hit in into center-field. Most homers go to center-field. But in Fenway, you have to get past the "Big Green Monster.", which is what they call their HUGE green wall. Most "would be homers" bounce off the huge wall and are a base-hit single, double, triple, ((inside homer RARELY)), or whatever.

NO, there is no such thing as a ground rule triple in baseball or any stadium for that matter.

There are currently no ground rule triples at any park in Major League Baseball:

either you don't pay attention or you just heard wrong because there is no such thing as a ground rule double.

green monster is in left but left field is really small
center field has the triangle which is really far out and if you get a ball there it is easy to get a triple
