About Company
The Boston Red Sox were established in 1901 as one of eight clubs to enter into the newly founded American League. Originally known as the Boston Americans, the team played its home games at the Huntington Avenue Baseball Grounds in Boston before adopting the name Red Sox prior to the 1908 season and moving to Fenway Park in 1912.
The Sox captured the first ever World Series in 1903, and have gone on to win nine titles in all, as well as five additional American League pennants. Boston has also claimed 10 East division titles and seven Wild Card berths during that time.
A total of 45 former players, managers, and executives who spent at least a part of their career with the Red Sox are in the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Today the Red Sox are led by owners John Henry, Tom Werner, and their partners, who purchased the team in December of 2001. Under their watch, the club has constructed the longest sellout streak in baseball history, renovated and preserved Fenway Park, and won four World Series, the first in 2004 which ended an 86-year stretch without a title.
