Inaugurated on 20 April 1912, the stadium, Fenway Park, is the oldest baseball stadium still in operation majors .. The Red Sox has the honor of winning the first World Series, as the Americans Boston in 1903 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. After an interval of 86-years, were able to record their most recent World Series championship win in 2004.
The main rival is Red Sox New York Yankees. The two clubs "enjoy" one of the longest standing – rivalries in American sport North.
The West Minor League declared its equality with the National League under the prohibition of Johnson in 1900. He was the only major league then. The League name was changed to the American League by Johnson. Initially the team was competing in the streets. However, placed in two upstart franchises League National's largest and most important cities, Philadelphia and Boston.
Americans participated in the first modern World Series in 1903. They succeeded to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates for winning five games to three. The Americans, with the help of the songs instead of "Tessie" by the fan club fans Royal and her strong pitching staff, managed to overcome the odds, winning the first World Series.
The Red Sox logo used in 1908, when it is known simply as "Boston." The club of 1904 was almost as good as the previous team.But Americans found themselves in a tight race for the title through the last games of the season with a surprise appearance by the New York Highlanders. To win the pennant, the Highlanders needed to win both games.
The Americans lost 100 games the year 1906. But the Red Sox renamed was able to improve immediately with the help of several star players. In 1909, Red Sox opened the way to third place and the legendary center fielder Tris Speaker had become a fixture in the outfield in Boston. However, the Red Sox not going to win the pennant again until their 105-win season 1912.
Joseph Lannin owned the Red Sox from 1913 to 1916. It succeeded in signing Babe Ruth, who soon became the best known and one of the best players in history. Red Sox drive to the World Series with another 101 victories in 1915. They were able to beat the Philadelphia Phillies four games to one. 1916 The team repeated the championship. The Red Sox won the World Series again. They defeated the Brooklyn Robins this time. In 1918, the team was at the top of the pile again, led by Babe Ruth to a World Series championship over the Chicago Cubs.
If Boston does not could win by a few decades, New York became a major success, selling Babe Ruth came to be regarded as the beginning of the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry. It rivalry described as "Greatest on Earth". Frazee continued to sell many of their star players after the sale of Ruth to the Yankees.
The Red Sox reached the postseason for the next seven years after the playoff game 1978. During that period, which finished no higher than third in division.
In the 1986 World Series Red Sox played the New York Mets. The Red Sox won the first two games at Shea Stadium, but lost the next two at Fenway, knots the series at 2 games apiece. After Bruce Hurst recorded his second victory of the series in Game 5, Red Sox returned to Flushing Meadows seeks to bring together their first championship in 68 years. However, the sixth game marked the most devastating losses in club history. Roger Clemens was lifted curiously of the game with a 3-2 lead after pitching seven strong innings.
The Red Sox were able to return to the postseason in 1988. With the club in fourth place early in the 1988 season, was fired, John McNamara. He was replaced by Joe Morgan. Immediately the club won 12 games in a row and 19 of 20 overall. It was bitter to the title the NL East in what became known as Morgan Magic.
In 1990, the Red Sox win the division again and face the Athletics in the ALCS. However, the A's swept the series in four.
In 2000, the Red Sox failed to take advantage of Nomar Garciaparra's career year and the historic season of Pedro Martínez. Other highlights include reliever Derek Lowe and outfielders Carl Everett and Dante Bichette, but the rest of the team was weak, and the Sox stumbled to one record 85-77.
Important step general manager Theo Epstein's first recruitment to the team for 2007 was to pursue one of the most anticipated acquisitions in the recent history. The Red Sox won the bid for the rights to negotiate a major league contract with Japanese superstar pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka. At the 2007 Red Sox still have the name of a closer.
