Boston Red Sox The Boston Red Sox “Baseball is not a matter of life and death, but the Red Sox are.” Many baseball fans from all around New England and all over the United States agree with Mike Barnacle on this statement. The Boston Red Sox are one of the most unique teams in Major League Baseball and they have a long and rich history. “As hard as it may be for their partisans to believe today, there was indeed a time when the Boston Red Sox did not exist. This flaw in the national culture was corrected in 1901” said Dan Honig. On January 28th, 1901, Byron Johnson decided to start a team in Boston to be part of his American Baseball League. This team, the Boston Americans, eventually became the Boston Red Sox. They played on a field on Huntington Avenue. The big star player of the team at that time was the great Denton True "Cy" Young, more commonly known as "Cy," the big right hander spent nearly 20 years in the big leagues and set the pitching standard for all of baseball to follow. He was the only pitcher in baseball's first 100 years to win 500 games, including three no-hit sox, red, boston, world, series, team, season, game, new, games, baseball, won, park, one, fenway, year, lost, yawkey, williams, time, league, home, first, major, ever, tom, run, out, made, history, became, win, six, players, last
