The official Spanish site uses the variant "Los Red Sox".<a href="#cite_note-16">[15]</a> The Red Stockings nickname was previously used by the <a href="/wiki/Cincinnati_Red_Stockings_(AA)" class="mw-redirect" title="Cincinnati Red Stockings (AA)">Cincinnati Red Stockings</a>, who were members of the pioneering <a href="/wiki/National_Association_of_Base_Ball_Players" title="National Association of Base Ball Players">National Association of Base Ball Players</a>. Managed by <a href="/wiki/Harry_Wright" title="Harry Wright">Harry Wright</a>, Cincinnati adopted a uniform with white knickers and red stockings and earned the famous nickname, a year or two before hiring the first fully professional team in 1869. When the club folded after the 1870 season, Wright was hired by Boston businessman <a href="/wiki/Ivers_Whitney_Adams" title="Ivers Whitney Adams">Ivers Whitney Adams</a><a href="#cite_note-17">[16]</a> to organize a new team in Boston, and he brought three teammates and the "Red Stockings" nickname along. (Most nicknames were then unofficial—neither club names nor registered trademarks—so the migration was informal.) The <a href="/wiki/History_of_the_Boston_Braves" class="mw-redirect" title="History of the Boston Braves">Boston Red Stockings</a> won four championships in the five seasons of the new <a href="/wiki/National_Association_of_Professional_Base_Ball_Players" title="National Association of Professional Base Ball Players">National Association</a>, the first professional league. When a new Cincinnati club was formed as a charter member of the <a href="/wiki/National_League_(baseball)" title="National League (baseball)">National League</a> in 1876, the "Red Stockings" nickname was commonly reserved for them once again, and the Boston team was referred to as the "Red Caps". Other names were sometimes used before Boston officially adopted the nickname "Braves" in 1912; the club <a href="/wiki/Boston_Braves_To_Milwaukee" class="mw-redirect" title="Boston Braves To Milwaukee">eventually left Boston for Milwaukee</a> and is now playing in <a href="/wiki/Atlanta" title="Atlanta">Atlanta</a>. <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BostonRedSox1908logo.svg" class="mw-file-description"><noscript><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/BostonRedSox1908logo.svg/220px-BostonRedSox1908logo.svg.png" decoding="async" width="220" height="159" class="mw-file-element" data-file-width="438" data-file-height="316"></noscript><span class="lazy-image-placeholder" style="width: 220px;height: 159px;" data-mw-src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/BostonRedSox1908logo.svg/220px-BostonRedSox1908logo.svg.png" data-width="220" data-height="159" data-mw-srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/BostonRedSox1908logo.svg/330px-BostonRedSox1908logo.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/50/BostonRedSox1908logo.svg/440px-BostonRedSox1908logo.svg.png 2x" data-class="mw-file-element"> </a><figcaption>The Red Sox logo worn on uniforms in 1908, announcing the team's first official nickname</figcaption></figure>In 1901, the upstart <a href="/wiki/American_League" title="American League">American League</a> established a competing club in Boston. (Originally, a team was supposed to be started in <a href="/wiki/Buffalo,_New_York" title="Buffalo, New York">Buffalo</a>, but league ownership at the last minute removed that city from their plans in favor of the expansion Boston franchise.) For seven seasons, the AL team wore dark blue stockings and had no official nickname. They were simply "Boston", "Bostonians" or "the Bostons"; or the "Americans" or "Boston Americans" as in "American Leaguers", Boston being a two-team city. Their 1901–1907 jerseys, both home, and road, just read "Boston", except for 1902 when they sported large letters "B" and "A" denoting "Boston" and "American". Newspaper writers of the time used other nicknames for the club, including "Somersets" (for owner <a href="/wiki/Charles_Somers" title="Charles Somers">Charles Somers</a>), "Plymouth Rocks", "Beaneaters", the "Collinsites" (for manager <a href="/wiki/Jimmy_Collins" title="Jimmy Collins">Jimmy Collins</a>)", and "Pilgrims". For years many sources have listed "Pilgrims" as the early Boston AL team's official nickname, but researcher Bill Nowlin has demonstrated that the name was barely used, if at all, during the team's early years.<a href="#cite_note-18">[17]</a> The origin of the nickname appears to be a poem entitled "The Pilgrims At Home" written by Edwin Fitzwilliam that was sung at the 1907 home opener ("Rory O'More" melody).<a href="#cite_note-19">[18]</a> This nickname was commonly used during that season, perhaps because the team had a new manager and several rookie players. <a href="/wiki/John_I._Taylor" title="John I. Taylor">John I. Taylor</a> had said in December 1907 that the Pilgrims "sounded too much like homeless wanderers." The National League club in Boston, though seldom called the "Red Stockings" anymore, still wore red trim. In 1907, the National League club adopted an all-white uniform, and the American League team saw an opportunity. On December 18, 1907, Taylor announced that the club had officially adopted red as its new team color. The 1908 uniforms featured a large icon of a red stocking angling across the shirt front. For 1908, the National League club returned to wearing red trim, but the American League team finally had an official nickname and remained the "Red Sox" for good. The name is often <a href="/wiki/List_of_baseball_nicknames" title="List of baseball nicknames">shortened</a> to "Bosox" or "BoSox", a combination of "Boston" and "Sox" (similar to the <a href="/wiki/Chicago_White_Sox" title="Chicago White Sox">"ChiSox"</a> in Chicago or the minor league <a href="/wiki/Worcester_Red_Sox" title="Worcester Red Sox">"WooSox"</a> of Worcester, a minor league affiliate of Boston).

href="/wiki/Ted_Williams" title="Ted Williams">Ted Williams</a> in 1940</figcaption></figure> In 1939, the Red Sox purchased the contract of <a href="/wiki/Outfielder" title="Outfielder">outfielder</a> <a href="/wiki/Ted_Williams" title="Ted Williams">Ted Williams</a> from the minor league <a href="/wiki/San_Diego_Padres_(PCL)" title="San Diego Padres (PCL)">San Diego Padres</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Pacific_Coast_League" title="Pacific Coast League">Pacific Coast League</a>, ushering in an era of the team sometimes called the "Ted Sox". Williams consistently hit for both high power and high average, and is generally considered one of the greatest hitters of all time. The right-field bullpens in Fenway were built in part for Williams' left-handed swing, and are sometimes called "Williamsburg". Before this addition, it was over 400 feet (120 m) to right field. He served two stints in the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Marine_Corps" title="United States Marine Corps">United States Marine Corps</a> as a pilot and saw <a href="/wiki/Active_duty" title="Active duty">active duty</a> in both World War II and the <a href="/wiki/Korean_War" title="Korean War">Korean War</a>, missing at least five full seasons of baseball. His book The Science of Hitting is widely read by students of baseball. He is currently the last player to hit over .400 for a full season, batting .406 in 1941.<a href="#cite_note-100">[99]</a> Williams feuded with sports writers his whole career, calling them "The Knights of the Keyboard", and his relationship with the fans was often rocky as he was seen spitting towards the stands on more than one occasion. With Williams, the Red Sox reached the <a href="/wiki/1946_World_Series" title="1946 World Series">1946 World Series</a> but lost to the <a href="/wiki/1946_St._Louis_Cardinals_season" title="1946 St. Louis Cardinals season">St. Louis Cardinals</a> in seven games in part because of the use of the "Williams Shift", a defensive tactic in which the shortstop moves to the right side of the infield to make it harder for the left-handed-hitting Williams to hit to that side of the field. Some have claimed that he was too proud to hit to the other side of the field, not wanting to let the Cardinals take away his game. His performance may have also been affected by a pitch he took in the elbow in an exhibition game a few days earlier. Either way, in his only World Series, Williams gathered just five singles in 25 <a href="/wiki/At_bat" title="At bat">at-bats</a> for a .200 average. The Cardinals won the 1946 Series when <a href="/wiki/Enos_Slaughter" title="Enos Slaughter">Enos Slaughter</a> scored the go-ahead run all the way from first base on a <a href="/wiki/Hit_(baseball)" title="Hit (baseball)">base hit</a> to left field. The throw from <a href="/wiki/Leon_Culberson" title="Leon Culberson">Leon Culberson</a> was cut off by shortstop <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Pesky" title="Johnny Pesky">Johnny Pesky</a>, who relayed the ball to the plate just a hair too late. Some say Pesky hesitated or "held the ball" before he turned to throw the ball, but this has been disputed. Along with Williams and Pesky, the Red Sox featured several other star players during the 1940s, including second baseman <a href="/wiki/Bobby_Doerr" title="Bobby Doerr">Bobby Doerr</a> and center fielder <a href="/wiki/Dom_DiMaggio" title="Dom DiMaggio">Dom DiMaggio</a> (the younger brother of <a href="/wiki/Joe_DiMaggio" title="Joe DiMaggio">Joe DiMaggio</a>). The Red Sox narrowly lost the AL pennant in 1948 and 1949. In 1948, <a href="/wiki/1948_Boston_Red_Sox_season" title="1948 Boston Red Sox season">Boston</a> finished in a tie with <a href="/wiki/1948_Cleveland_Indians_season" title="1948 Cleveland Indians season">Cleveland</a>, and their loss to Cleveland in a <a href="/wiki/One-game_playoff" title="One-game playoff">one-game playoff</a> ended hopes of an all-Boston World Series. Curiously, manager <a href="/wiki/Joe_McCarthy_(baseball_manager)" title="Joe McCarthy (baseball manager)">Joseph McCarthy</a> chose journeyman <a href="/wiki/Denny_Galehouse" title="Denny Galehouse">Denny Galehouse</a> to start the playoff game when the young lefty phenom <a href="/wiki/Mel_Parnell" title="Mel Parnell">Mel Parnell</a> was available to pitch. In 1949, the <a href="/wiki/1949_Boston_Red_Sox_season" title="1949 Boston Red Sox season">Red Sox</a> were one game ahead of the <a href="/wiki/1949_New_York_Yankees_season" title="1949 New York Yankees season">New York Yankees</a>, with the only two games left for both teams being against each other, and they lost both of those games. The 1950s were viewed as a time of tribulation for the Red Sox. After Williams returned from the Korean War in 1953, many of the best players from the late 1940s had retired or been traded. The stark contrast in the team led critics to call the Red Sox' daily lineup "Ted Williams and the Seven Dwarfs". <a href="/wiki/Jackie_Robinson" title="Jackie Robinson">Jackie Robinson</a> was even worked out by the team at Fenway Park, however, owner Tom Yawkey did not want an African American player on his team. <a href="/wiki/Willie_Mays" title="Willie Mays">Willie Mays</a> also tried out for Boston and was highly praised by team scouts. In 1955, <a href="/wiki/Frank_Malzone" title="Frank Malzone">Frank Malzone</a> debuted at third base and Ted Williams hit .388 at the age of 38 in 1957, but there was little else for Boston fans to root for. Williams retired at the end of the 1960 <a href="/wiki/1960_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="1960 Major League Baseball season">season</a>, famously hitting a home run in his final at-bat as memorialized in the <a href="/wiki/John_Updike" title="John Updike">John Updike</a> story "Hub fans bid Kid adieu."

The BoSox had finished the 1966 <a href="/wiki/1966_Major_League_Baseball_season" title="1966 Major League Baseball season">season</a> in ninth place, but they found new life with Yastrzemski as the team won the pennant to reach the <a href="/wiki/1967_World_Series" title="1967 World Series">1967 World Series</a>. Yastrzemski won the American League Triple Crown (the most recent player to accomplish such a feat until Miguel Cabrera did so in 2012), hitting .326 with 44 <a href="/wiki/Home_run" title="Home run">home runs</a> and 121 <a href="/wiki/Runs_batted_in" class="mw-redirect" title="Runs batted in">runs batted in</a>.

However, Game 6 became one of the most devastating losses in club history. After pitching seven strong innings, Clemens was lifted from the game with a 3–2 lead. Years later, Manager <a href="/wiki/John_McNamara_(baseball)" title="John McNamara (baseball)">John McNamara</a> said Clemens was suffering from a blister and asked to be taken out of the game, a claim Clemens denied.<a href="#cite_note-107">[106]</a> The Mets then scored a run off <a href="/wiki/Relief_pitcher" title="Relief pitcher">reliever</a> and former Met <a href="/wiki/Calvin_Schiraldi" title="Calvin Schiraldi">Calvin Schiraldi</a> to tie the score 3–3. The game went to extra innings, where the Red Sox took a 5–3 lead in the top of the 10th on a solo home run by Henderson, a double by Boggs and an RBI single by second baseman <a href="/wiki/Marty_Barrett_(second_baseman)" title="Marty Barrett (second baseman)">Marty Barrett</a>.

A message even appeared briefly on the Shea Stadium scoreboard congratulating the Red Sox as World Series champions.

Following the trades, the club won 22 out of 25 games and qualified for the playoffs as the AL Wild Card. Players and fans affectionately referred to the players as "the Idiots", a term coined by Damon and Millar during the playoff push to describe the team's eclectic roster and devil-may-care attitude toward their supposed "curse".

The odds were still very much against the Sox in the series, but Ortiz also made the walk-off hit in the 14th inning of Game 5. The comeback continued with a victory from an injured Schilling in Game 6. Three sutures being used to stabilize the tendon in Schilling's right ankle bled throughout the game, famously making his sock appear bloody red. With it, Boston became the first team in MLB history to force a series-deciding Game 7 after trailing 3–0 in games. The Red Sox completed their historic comeback in Game 7 with a 10–3 victory over the Yankees. Ortiz began the scoring with a two-run homer. Along with his game-winning runs batted in during games 4 and 5, he was named ALCS Most Valuable Player. The Red Sox joined the <a href="/wiki/1941%E2%80%9342_Toronto_Maple_Leafs_season" title="1941–42 Toronto Maple Leafs season">1942 Toronto Maple Leafs</a> and the <a href="/wiki/1974%E2%80%9375_New_York_Islanders_season" title="1974–75 New York Islanders season">1975 New York Islanders</a> as the only <a href="/wiki/Major_professional_sports_leagues_in_the_United_States_and_Canada" title="Major professional sports leagues in the United States and Canada">North American professional sports</a> teams in history at the time to win a best-of-seven games series after being down 3–0.

The Red Sox won two of the three games to finish the season with the same record as the Yankees, 95–67. However, a playoff was not needed, as the loser of such a playoff would still make the playoffs as a wild card team. As the Yankees had won the season series, they were awarded the division title, and the Red Sox competed in the playoffs as the wild card team. Boston failed to defend their championship, and was swept in three games by the eventual <a href="/wiki/2005_World_Series" title="2005 World Series">2005 World Series</a> champion <a href="/wiki/2005_Chicago_White_Sox_season" title="2005 Chicago White Sox season">Chicago White Sox</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2005_American_League_Division_Series" title="2005 American League Division Series">first round</a> of the playoffs.

However, Boston failed to make the playoffs after compiling a 9–21 record in the month of August due to several injuries in the club's roster. Theo Epstein's first step toward restocking the team for 2007 was to pursue one of the most anticipated acquisitions in baseball history. On November 14, MLB announced that Boston had won the bid for the rights to negotiate a contract with Japanese <a href="/wiki/Nippon_Professional_Baseball" title="Nippon Professional Baseball">Nippon Professional Baseball</a> superstar pitcher <a href="/wiki/Daisuke_Matsuzaka" title="Daisuke Matsuzaka">Daisuke Matsuzaka</a>. Boston placed a bid of $51.1 million to negotiate with Matsuzaka and completed a 6-year, $52 million contract after they were announced as the winning bid. The Red Sox moved into first place in the AL East by mid-April and never relinquished their division lead. Initially, rookie second baseman <a href="/wiki/Dustin_Pedroia" title="Dustin Pedroia">Dustin Pedroia</a> under-performed, hitting below .200 in April. Manager <a href="/wiki/Terry_Francona" title="Terry Francona">Terry Francona</a> refused to bench him and his patience paid off as Pedroia eventually won the <a href="/wiki/Major_League_Baseball_Rookie_of_the_Year_Award" title="Major League Baseball Rookie of the Year Award">AL Rookie of the Year Award</a> for his performance that season, which included 165 hits and a .317 batting average. On the mound, <a href="/wiki/Josh_Beckett" title="Josh Beckett">Josh Beckett</a> emerged as the ace of the staff with his first 20-win season, as fellow starting pitchers Schilling, Matsuzaka, Wakefield and <a href="/wiki/Juli%C3%A1n_Tav%C3%A1rez" title="Julián Tavárez">Julián Tavárez</a> all struggled at times. Relief pitcher <a href="/wiki/Hideki_Okajima" title="Hideki Okajima">Hideki Okajima</a>, another recent arrival from the NPB, posted an ERA of 0.88 through the first half and was selected for the All-Star Game.

The Red Sox swept the <a href="/wiki/2007_Los_Angeles_Angels_of_Anaheim_season" class="mw-redirect" title="2007 Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim season">Angels</a> in the <a href="/wiki/2007_American_League_Division_Series" title="2007 American League Division Series">ALDS</a>.

As a means of meeting the criteria, then-GM Dan Duquette hired Fisk for one day as a special assistant, which allowed Fisk to technically finish his career with the Red Sox.<a href="#cite_note-207">[206]</a> In 2008, the Red Sox made an "exception" by retiring number 6 for <a href="/wiki/Johnny_Pesky" title="Johnny Pesky">Johnny Pesky</a>. Pesky neither spent ten years as a player nor was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame; however, Red Sox ownership cited "... his versatility of his contributions—on the field, off the field, [and] in the dugout ...", including as a manager, scout, and special instructor and decided that the honor had been well-earned.<a href="#cite_note-208">[207]</a> Pesky spent 57 years with the Red Sox organization; as a minor league player (1940–1941), major league player (1942, 1946–1952), minor league manager (1961–1962, 1990), major league manager (1963–1964, 1980), broadcaster (1969–1974), major league coach (1975–1984), and as a special instructor and assistant general manager (1985–2012). In 2015, the Red Sox chose to forgo the official criteria and retire <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Mart%C3%ADnez" title="Pedro Martínez">Pedro Martínez</a>' number 45. Martínez only spent seven of his 18 seasons in Boston. In justifying the number's retirement, Red Sox principal owner John Henry stated, "To be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame upon his first year of eligibility speaks volumes regarding Pedro's outstanding career, and is a testament to the respect and admiration so many in baseball have for him."<a href="#cite_note-209">[208]</a> After announcing Martínez's number retirement, the official criteria no longer appeared on the team website<a href="#cite_note-retnos-210">[209]</a> nor future media guides.<a href="#cite_note-211">[210]</a><a href="#cite_note-212">[211]</a> In 2017, less than eight months after he played the final game of his illustrious career, <a href="/wiki/David_Ortiz" title="David Ortiz">David Ortiz</a> had his number 34 retired by the Red Sox.

As additional numbers were retired, Robinson's 42 was moved to the right so it remains the right-most number hanging. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Baseball_Hall_of_Famers">Baseball Hall
