A brief history of the Boston Red Sox
The Boston Red Sox began playing in the new American League of baseball in 1901. They were simply referred to as the Boston Americans. Americans was used to denote the Boston team from the American League. There were no official nicknames used back then. The Boston American’s won their first American League pennant (Championship) in 1903. 1903 was also the first year that both the American and National League Champions would play against each other in a World Series. The Boston American’s won the first modern day World Series by defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5 games to 3. Boston won the American League pennant again in 1904 but the National League Champion New York Giants refused to play Boston in the World Series, referring to Boston and the American League as inferior and a minor league. The next season, the two leagues adopted a plan to make the World Series a permanent fixture in baseball
The Boston Red Sox, as they became known as after the 1907 season, play their home games at Fenway Park in Boston. Fenway Park was opened in 1912 and is the oldest major league park still in use today. The name Fenway comes from the Parks location, Fenway neighborhood. The stadium has gone through many reconstruction projects over the years and currently Fenway seats over 38,000 baseball fans. Fenway Park has many notable features like the Triangle, Williamsburg, the Lone Red Seat, the Belly, Pesky’s Pole, Fisk Foul Pole, Duffy’s Cliff, the .400 club and Canvas Alley;however, Fenway is most famous for the left field wall known as the “Green Monster”. The Green Monster was constructed in 1934 and stands 37 feet tall and 240 feet long. In 1934, a manual scoreboard was added to the left field wall and is still in use today.
The Boston Red Sox were a dominant team during the early part of the twentieth century. The Red Sox won four World Series Championships from 1912 through 1918. In 1920, Red Sox owner Harry Frazee sold Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. Frazee had sold several players to the Yankees prior to Ruth, however the Ruth sale was the most notable considering the fact that Ruth was the best player in Baseball. Ruth would become the greatest baseball player of all time and led the Yankees to four World Series Championships over the next two decades. Since the sale of Babe Ruth the Yankees have become baseball’s greatest dynasty and the Red Sox fell victim to the ‘Curse of the Bambino”.
Over the next 86 seasons, the Boston Red Sox would come close to a World Series Championship, but fall each time keeping the Curse of the Bambino alive. After beating the Cubs in the 1918 Series, the Red Sox failed to make a World Series trip until 1946. The Red Sox lost the World Series in 1946, 1967, 1975 and 1986. Each of the trips included great players like Ted Williams in ’46, Carl Yastrzemski in ’67, Carlton Fisk in ’75 and Wade Boggs in 1986. The Red Sox came as close as one out away from a World Series Title in 1986 but an easy ground ball rolled under the glove of first baseman, Bill Buckner and the curse of the Bambino remained in tact.
In 2004, the Red Sox were in the grips of the Curse once more as they were down 3 games to 0 in the American League Championship series to the hated New York Yankees. The Yankees had been the cause of all the Red Sox failure over the years including the original curse. But something happened in the fall of 2004. Something happened that was previously unheard of and was certainly unbelievable. The Boston Red Sox accomplished something no other sports franchise before or since has done. They overcame a 3-0 deficit to beat the New York Yankees in an improbably American League Championship series. In doing so, the Red Sox lifted the Curse of the Bambino and went on to defeat the St. Louis Cardinals 4-0 in the 2004 World Series for their first title in 86 years.
With the curse behind them, and their second championship in the bag, the Boston Red Sox and Red Sox baseball tickets will continue to be a hot topic in the New England area for many years to come.
