When the champions of the National League and the American League played each other in the first World Series in 1903, it was the Boston Americans who earned the crown. In 1907, they became the Boston Red Sox, establishing a dynasty in the following decade with World Series triumphs in 1912, 1915, 1916, and 1918. Although the Red Sox would appear in four more World Series during the rest of the 20th century, they would falter in the seventh game of each of those Series. Then, in 2004, the Red Sox finally gave their fans what they had been dreaming of for 86 years – a sixth world championship.During the past century, a number of Hall of Famers have played for this franchise, beginning with the great Cy Young, who was the star of the first World Series win by the Red Sox. Other standouts included Jimmy Collins, Tris Speaker, Smoky Joe Wood, Lefty Grove, Jimmy Foxx, Carl Yastrzemski, Carlton Fisk, and Wade Boggs. Even baseball’s greatest player – Babe Ruth – began his career in Boston. Today, others who have played and are now playing for the Red Sox will join this elite group, such stars as Roger Clemens, Pedro Martinez, and Manny Ramirez. But, of course, the one player who will always be identified with Red Sox greatness is Ted Williams.Boston Red Sox: Yesterday & Today brings to life the most cherished moments of these World Series teams and All-Star players.
