Boston Red Sox
fans are some of the best in all of major league baseball. There is
allot to love about the Red Sox, beautiful Fenway Park with the green
monster, world series caliber baseball
team, and more. The Red Sox won the world series last in 2004 sweeping
the St. Louis Cardinals in four games.
The 2007 version of the Red Sox has a great chance of winning the
world series once again. The team is loaded with talent from top to
bottom with the likes of David Ortiz, Jonathan Papelbon, Josh Beckett,
Daisuke Matsuzaka, Manny Ramirez, and Curt Schilling. As every year,
the Red Sox will have to battle with the NY
Yankees for the AL East division championship. This is one of
the best rivalries in all of baseball which dates back all the way
to the curse
of the Bambino. This should be a great year of baseball for Boston
Red Sox fans that should not end until late October. |

Red Sox Information
- The Red Sox
are one of the few professional sports teams that can claim the
majority of the residents of their home city as fans. The Red
Sox Nation grows even larger, drawing fans from around the country.
- The home
of the Red Sox is Fenway Park, which is the oldest stadium in
baseball. Fenway has been the home of the Red Sox since 1912.
- The scourge
of the Red Sox has been the New York Yankees for much of both
teams histories. The most memorable point in the history of this
rivalry came during the 1920 season, when the Red Sox sold slugger
Babe Ruth to the Yankees for $100,000. The Red Sox would not win
a World Championship again until 2004, while the Yankees would
win 26 World Championships in their history.
- It’s
hard to find a franchise with more great players in their history
than the Boston Red Sox. Players that have worn the Red Sox uniform
include: Bobby Doerr, Carlton Fisk, Harry Hooper, Ted Williams,
Cy Young and Babe Ruth
- The Red Sox
have won their division 5 times in their history, and have made
the playoffs an additional 3 times as the Wild Card Team. Boston
has won 6 World Series Championships; in 1903,1912, 1915, 1916,
1918, and in 2004.
- During their
franchise's history, the Red Sox have had players pitch 16 No
Hitters and hit for the cycle 19 times. The Red Sox also have
two players that have completed unassisted triple plays while
with the team. BUY RED SOX TICKETS The 2002 season started with
a lot of changes in the Boston front office. After a change in
ownership, the firings of the teams General Manager, and Manager
just a week later were quick to shake up the team. The addition
of free agents Johnny Damon and John Burkett helped add some fire
to the team as they went 93-69, good enough for second place in
their division. But the Red Sox still had a long way to go. Like
the season before, the 2003 season brought in more firepower for
the Red Sox, this time in the form of Kevin Millar, Bill Mueller
and David Ortiz. The lineup for the Red Sox produced a 95-67 record,
and earned the team the Wild Card spot in the playoffs. The team
would face the rival New York Yankees in the first round. In a
series that would last 7 games, the Red Sox would lose to the
Yankees after Boston pitcher Pedro Martinez is left in the game,
only to get punished by New York’s batters. The Red Sox
would be out of the playoffs without a World Series title again,
but would pick up several key players for their next attempt at
a World Championship. After winning 98 games during the 2004 regular
season (the most for the franchise since 1978), the Red Sox would
make the postseason as the American League Wild Card team. Led
by players such as Manny Ramirez, David Ortiz, Johnny Damon, Pedro
Martinez, and the newly acquired Curt Schilling, the Red Sox defeated
the Anaheim Angels in 4 games, and the New York Yankees in 7 games
to make it to the World Series. In the Fall Classic, the Red Sox
faced the St. Louis Cardinals would had the best regular season
record in all of baseball. The Red Sox would end up triumphant
after winning the Series in four games, marking the first World
Championship for the franchise in 86 years.

Yankees Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)<p>The Yankees again enjoyed a day away from the ballpark as part of manager Joe Girardi's new tradition, and it was a hit with newcomers and veterans who enjoyed last season's pool hall tournament.</p>
<p>The trip's value was seen almost immediately as the club was hit with the first twinge of potential distraction that often requires as much stress-free bonding as possible.</p>
<p>While the team was enjoying its trip to an arcade, Alex Rodriguez was again watching his name hit the headlines in connection to a story involving performance-enhancing drugs.</p>
<p>This year's story so far is not about Rodriguez or his use of PEDs, which he acknowledged last season, and so the fallout is expected to be much smaller.
