Transactions

[edit]
  • October 6, 1902: It is reported that George Stone will play for the Boston Americans.[1]
  • October 28, 1902: John McGraw, manager of the New York Giants, announces that Jack Warner of the Boston Americans had signed to play for the Giants.[2] This decision came after weeks of speculation as to the future of Jack Warner. In an interview printed on September 25, 1902, Jimmy Collins stated that he had signed Warner to a two-year contract with the Americans the previous month.[3] On October 13, 1902, Jimmy Collins had gone to New York after hearing reports that Warner had jumped to the New York Giants.[4]
  • March 18, 1903: Catcher Charles "Duke" Farrell announces that that he has accepted an offer to play for the Boston Americans.[5]

Prior to the regular season, the team held spring training in Macon, Georgia.[6][7] Cy Young was a coach for the Mercer University baseball team, also based in Macon.[8][9]

The Boston Americans played an exhibition game against Mercer University (with Cy Young pitching for Mercer) on March 23; the outcome being a 13─2 victory for Boston.[10]

Regular Season Overview

[edit]

April 20 ─ Boston Vs. Philadelphia

[edit]

April 20 (Game 1): Philadelphia 4 ─ Boston 9[11] The Boston Americans began the season with a 9─4 victory over the Philadelphia Athletics. Philadelphia pitcher Rube Waddell struck out the first four batters he faced. The Athletics scored first in the third inning; Ossee Schreckengost batted into what seemed to be a double play, but the throw to first base went into the bleachers allowing Schreckengost to score. The Athletics scored again in the fourth inning, but the Boston Americans responded by scoring five in their half of the inning, giving them the lead that would not be relinquished.

April 20 (Game 2): Philadelphia 10 ─ Boston 7[11] Cy Young began the game effectively, allowing only one opposing batter to reach first base for the first six innings. The Boston offense was also strong for the first six innings, scoring a total of six runs. Yet Philadelphia was able to tie the game in the seventh inning, scoring six runs off of Young. Philadelphia then took the lead in the eighth inning with a run scored, and scored three more in the ninth to give them ten runs. Boston could only score one more in the ninth; a single by Chick Stahl led to him being driven home by a double hit by Buck Freeman, giving Boston a total of seven runs.

World Series

[edit]

Boston had an 11-game winning streak from May 28 through June 8,[136] to put themselves in the AL lead. While they briefly fell into second place in mid-June, behind Philadelphia,[326] Boston then won 9-of-10 to recapture the lead, which they held through the end of the season. The Americans met the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first modern World Series, an agreement between the AL and the NL as a post-season tournament. The "Amerks" won the best-of-nine series in eight games; after falling behind, 3–1, they won four games in a row, clinching the championship at their home field, the Huntington Avenue Grounds, in Boston.

The first championship of what is now 9 for the long-running club, the series would be immortalized in the 2004 remake of the team's fight song Tessie by The Dropkick Murphys, honoring the victory over the Pirates in Game 5, helped in part by that song which was adopted as an anthem by a group of team supporters, the Royal Rooters, under saloon owner Michael T. McGreevy.
