Boston Red Sox

ItemImage

The Red Sox franchise has been in Boston since its birth in 1901 when they were known as the Boston Somersets. They changed their name to the Pilgrims in 1903 and then to the Red Sox in 1907. The franchise has won six World Series championships, most recently in 2004. An AL East team, the Red Sox have played their home games at Fenway Park in Boston, MA since 1912. Red Sox in the National Baseball Hall of Fame include Joe Cronin, Jimmie Foxx, Ted Williams, and Carl Yastrzemski.

Grew up rooting for them. The park is really nice, though people in 1912 must have all been the size of hobbits: I'm not a particularly large fellow, yet I get cramped in the seats, though it's one of the best places to catch a game. It's getting too expensive, and the real fans are getting nudged out by yuppies and cellphone toting brats who don't know what the hell is going on. At this writing, what they'll look like next year remains very unclear, and I have to admit that it's different since their Series win: they're not in a league financially with the Yankees ( no one truly is) yet unfortunately they're inching towards them and away from the Cubs, Cardinals, and other clubs of their ilk: as far as having diehard fans who don't need nothing less than a Series championship to feel good about being a fan. Are accruing a fair amount of fairweather bandwagon fans like the Yankees, Lakers, etc. This is distressing.
