The Boston Red sox are one of the oldest, and most known
franchises in all of baseball. They were established in 1901 and have
been in the American league of the MLB ever since. They play their
home games at Fenway Park, which is the oldest most loved stadium
out there. They have won 9 world series titles throughout their time.
Their first came in 1903. Their latest win was 2018. There was an 86
year drought from them winning the world series that was ended in
2004. This drought was referred from the curse of the bambino. The
red sox had the great babe ruth before the Yankees did, but after
trading him away to New York nothing seemed to go right for many
years.
Throughout history the Red Sox have had some major players
apart of their organization. Some of which are considered within the
top few to ever live. One of these is the great “Ted the Kid” or Ted
Williams. Over his career he hit .345 and had 521 home runs. He did
this even though he had to miss multiple seasons because he fought in
franchises in all of baseball. They were established in 1901 and have

Williams. Over his career he hit .345 and had 521 home runs. He did
this even though he had to miss multiple seasons because he fought in
World War two. He made the guys of his time look like garbage. He was
better then even other hall of famers of that period that didn’t leave to
fight the war. If we dive deep into the stats, he is a top 3 hitter of all
time. There are many other key players the red sox have had
throughout time. Some of these are Carl Yastrzemski, Manny Ramirez,
Pedro Martinez, David Ortiz, and Nomar Garciaparra. All these guys
made massive impacts on the game during their time.
The Sox have a very large and dedicated fan base. The fans are
known for their cheers and things they shout at every game. They sing
the song “Sweet Caroline” every 8th inning. There are many season
ticket holders who have passed down their seats from generation to
generation since the park opened. The red sox are also involved with
many things off the field as well. They donate time and money to be
apart of “The Jimmy Fund”. This is a charity that raises funds for cancer
treatment at the Dana Farber Cancer Institute.
The last key thing in Boston’s franchise would be the Red Sox and
Yankees rivalry. This is often described as one of the largest rivalries in
sports. Both franchises have been around since the beginning of the
MLB. They have been rivals ever since. When the teams meet it is often
highly anticipated, and always heated. There is definitely drama that
will come with their series’. There has been fights and brawls
throughout the years between these two. The videos of these brawls is
very interesting to watch. It mainly comes down to pride, but as well it
also is just about winning. Either of these teams never wants to be
bettered by the other. We all know deep down the Red Sox have and
always done it better though.
