The History of the Red Sox

Thursday, February 15th, 2007

Here is the exact text that was used in a recent press release about the relationship they now have with a Japanese electric company, from the Sox, about their history.
“A charter member of the American League in 1901, the Boston Red Sox have been one of the most successful major league teams over the last [...]

Lester’s Comeback

Tuesday, February 13th, 2007

John Lester. Cancer Survivor.

Thursday, February 8th, 2007

In 1991, Roger Clemens signed a $21.521 million contract with the Boston Red Sox - at the time the largest in the history of baseball. 4 years total, starting at $2.7m in 1991. It even included a club option, paying him $6 million for 1996, the last year he wore a B on [...]

Closers
