I am a diehard Boston Red Sox fan from Southern California They are my favorite sports team. Stadium: hope that I can visit Fenway Park someday. It's the oldest ballpark in MLB. It opened in 1912. Players: My favorite players of all time are Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski. My favorite current players are Payton Tolle and Ceddanne Rafaela. read more

The Boston Red Sox are an American professional base ball team based in Boston. The Red Sox compete in Major League Baseball (MLB) as a member club of the American League(AL) East Division. The Red Socks were founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises. The Red Socks home ball park has been Fenway Park since 1912. My first memory of being a fan of Red Socks baseball is age three. I've said it before that my dad wanted a boy and got little old me. He brought home baseball cards of all the major leagues teams. I knew the players starting in the 1950's. Living in New York and Connecticut at the time I heard a lot about the Boston Red Socks especially their history. I'm not going into the history of the team. They have won the World Series nine times. Read the story about the "Curse of the Bambino" if you love baseball. There's history here that I love. Five Easy Stars! read more

2004***** I was in college watching a historic almost rag tag team, anchored by some absolute studs, come together to make one of the best playoff runs maybe ever. 2025* Anchored by an absolute aversion to any financial speculation in an effort to accumulate another championship banner the Red Sox ownership and management has solidified themselves as a pseudo-franchise. They (mis)spend just enough to SEEM competitive but in reality are nothing more, at this point, than a seasonal tourist attraction... a cross between a cool historic attraction and something akin to Disney on Ice or some kind of musical theatre performance (que up Sweet Caroline). There's highs (moments of individual /team brilliance) and there's lows ($Beer, lack of pitching/hitting) to the "show" but we already know the ending to this recurring tragedy... a lack of BOOM, and a guaranteed playoff BUST. The resale rate of tickets is high, there are available seats to opening day(s), and there are multiple clowns running this performative circus. Until something changes we are left with the following famous words: "#%$! John Henry and his incompetent minion Breslow too" ~ Abe Lincoln (probably) read more

The Boston Red Sox are currently tied for third all-time with the Oakland Athletics for the most World Series (9). Known all too well with Boston fans, the Red Sox went 86 years (1918 to 2004) without a World Series championship. That 86-year drought, known as the "Curse of the Bambino," is a reference to the team selling the "Bambino" Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees in 1919, ending a period of great success in Boston. Babe Ruth won three World Series in Boston (1915, 1916, and 1918). Principal owner John Henry, who bought the franchise in 2002, broke the curse and has since overseen four World Series championships in 2004, 2007, 2013, and 2018. Under Henry's ownership, the Red Sox have hired championship managers Terry Francona (2004, 2007), John Farrell (2013), and Alex Cora (2018). Cora is back with the Red Sox as the team's current manager after serving a suspension related to his time with the Houston Astros (sign-stealing scandal). The Red Sox are one of baseball's most popular teams and the franchise is as storied and decorated as any. As a Georgia Tech alum and fan, a couple notable Yellow Jackets who suited up for the Red Sox include Jason Varitek (1997-2011) and Nomar Garciaparra (1996-2004). Both are in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame with Varitek inducted in 2016 and Garciaparra inducted in 2014. Today, Varitek works on Cora's coaching staff with the title "Game Planning Coordinator." Another Georgia Tech player who turned out to have a great MLB career is Mark Teixeira. While he never played a game for the Red Sox, I bring him up because he was actually drafted by the Red Sox in 1998. Instead of signing with the Red Sox, Teixeira decided to instead play college baseball for Tech. In 2001, he got drafted by and eventually played for the Texas Rangers. The Red Sox became the first team to win four World Series titles in the 21st century. Manny Ramirez (2004), Mike Lowell (2007), David Ortiz (2013), and Steve Pearce (2018) were World Series MVPs. Ramirez was a member of both the 2004 and 2007 title-winning teams while Ortiz was a member of those plus the 2013 team (three titles won with Boston). Like Varitek and Garciaparra, Ramirez, Lowell, and Ortiz have all been inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame. Pearce's career in Boston was short (2018-2019). After dealing with multiple injuries after the 2018 World Series, Pearce left the team in 2019 and retired in 2020. While he didn't stay in Boston long, he was instrumental to the Red Sox winning the World Series that year. At present, with John Henry the owner and Alex Cora the manager, the Red Sox should remain strong. read more

Gabby the ambassador at fan appreciation helped us switch our tickets helping us from a bad experience to an excellent experience

We went to our first Ref Sox game this week and it was a good time. This was the first week of the season and they ended up losing but it was still a really good game. The stadium is really fun to be in and the fans create a really awesome atmosphere. Trying to buy tickets was difficult. We just wanted to buy day of tickets when we got to the stadium and while they have plenty of ticket booths around the stadium, only one actually sells tickets. This was annoying because you have to walk all the way around and near game time they closed down some of the roads near so you had to walk blocks around to get to the correct gate. They also had very little on field entertainment and relied on the organ player to play between every inning. Overall, it was still a fun game to be at! read more

Love the game and the playing field. The stadium however is way overdue to be replaced. I'm over 6 ft. tall and was really uncomfortable the entire time and had to leave early. The constant blaring hip hop music had the children crying and the EQ mix was over baked on the high tones with no mid tones and light low tones. That just doesn't cut it in this day and age. The scoreboards had minimal information and didn't tell much. nuffs enough. read more

What is it with this team? This is the worst performance I've seen since 1966. These are overpaid athletes that are under performing. They should be playing amateur teams and maybe they would win a game or two. Horrible horrible start to a season. read more

Established in 1901, the Boston Red Sox actually play in Boston as opposed to the New England Patriots that somewhere else. They were one of the original charter teams of the American League's eight. After a wonderful and powerful start back 120 years ago, they went into a massive drought following their sale/trade of the great Babe Ruth to the New York Yankees. It was eighty six years from then until their sixth World Series win in 2004. They've done pretty well since then, winning again in 2007, 2013 and 2018. And yeah, they never forgot that rivalry with the New York Yankees. I got to see Yankees and Red Sox at "Fenway South", the spring training JetBlue Park in Fort Myers. https://www.yelp.com/biz/jetblue-park-fort-myers-2?hrid=YTc96as1ndrjJy2Fhwr39A I'm not a huge fan of the Red Sox but I can cheer for a team, right? I attended a super game with the Toronto Blue Jays at historic Fenway Park https://www.yelp.com/biz/fenway-park-boston?hrid=vLoP5D4d4UUmKNF4CZctLA in July 2018 and I'm only now getting around to reviewing the team. Gosh, I miss baseball. I hope that they're able to have some sort of season this year following the pandemic. [Review 13303 overall, 621 of 2020.] read more

I'm gonna preface this review by saying I wasn't a Red Sox fan until I married my Massachusetts sweetheart, but her love for the Sox is a lifelong thing which is kinda a common deal in MA. Her love of the Sox and the game are infectious and I've now been a serious fan for over four decades To be fair, I had no favorite baseball team before we met because I've always been a football guy. I played football in jr high & high school as well as track but the first few games I played in kid baseball I was crazy bored and walked away pretty quick, so that's my story. So let's talk some Red Sox and of course you can't talk Sox without talking Fenway Park, it is an awesome stadium and has been the Red Sox' home ballpark since 1912. I've been there many times over the years and being to bring my young son there and keep going back after he's all grown up is a wonderful priveledge and a plethora of memories.There were a lot of years cheering and rooting for our Sox to win the penant and maybe even the world series, oh so many years. How glorious was it after an 86 year drought to finally proclaim "We are the Champions of the World" once again in 2004?!?!? I made a point of being in Massachusetts for that series and let me tell ya' it was so crazy everywhere you went for that whole week leading up to the final game of the series, man just glorious. Regards to championships they won in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916, 1918 and then crickets, I mean painfully quiet and mean ugly crickets until the aforementioned glorious year of 2004 and since have brought it home to Boston again in 2007, 2013 and 2018, woohoo! Note: The original American league was only formed in 1901 so they won five of the first fifteen World Series titles, not too shabby of a start. But the 86 game drought was often blamed on "The Curse of the Bambino" the superstition that was named after Babe Ruth, who was referred to as "The Bambino", and played for the Red Sox until he was sold to the New York Yankees in 1920. There's way to much to talk about that whole thing but I will share my favorite sports joke .... When a Masshole (person from Massachusetts) is asks who's their favorite baseball team they usually reply, "I have two favorites, the Red Sox and anybody who beats the Yankees"! There's so many memories but just sitting behind home plate (my favorite seats) and a clear view of that batter's box where Babe Ruth and Ted Williams, Carl Yastrzemski and Jim Rice swing there bats is something special and I have really enjoyed my Red Sox experiences through the years. Bottom line: I am a Boston Red Sox fan, as is my sweetheart, and will be rooting for our boys no matter what! #RedSoxNation read more

What an amazing organization!!! We came to visit for my birthday as it's been a dream for me to watch the boys in Fenway! We were in section 41, row 1 and we couldn't have had a better experience! Steve with the Grounds Crew was amazing... so amazing that we asked for his autograph and he was more than happy to sign our ball. He deserves another year as the employee of the year... give it to him! Back to Back! What an incredible night! Hands down the BEST birthday I've ever had! GO SOX!!! read more

Just can't give the Sox 5 stars or even 4. As some of you know I'm a diehard Yankees fan. Always have and always will be. That said as a baseball fan first and foremost gotta be impressed with the building up one of the most storied franchises in baseball. Since that 64 year dry spell they have now won 4 World Series titles in the last 15 years. And the 9th in team history. With a young core of players nicknamed the killer B's have given them a fighting chance year after year. The architect has been Dave Dombrowski president and GM. He's done this with 3 different teams now. Drafting the likes of Mookie Betts, Andrew Benitenti ,Xander Bogarts and Jackie Bradley Jr. was a great start to build a nucleus of players brought up through the system. Plus adding starting pitchers David Price, Chris Sale and Rick Porcello from other teams on the bump. Plus a thumper was added late this pass spring training in JD Martinez . The best RBI guy that this organization has had to fill the void of David ( big papi) Ortiz who retired a few years back. With a few trade deadline deals this past summer plugging a few minor weaknesses along the way. Biggest surprise addition was Steve Pierce. A journey man play that has been on every team in the AL East now. Bringing it all together was first year manager Alex Cora. Pushing all the right buttons at the right time. Whether it was guys sacrificing their rolls to come off the bench or starting pitchers coming out of bullpen to get them to the late inning guys, Joe ( fight club) Kelly and closer Craig Kimbrel. It should be no surprise that they won this year's World Series. They were a wire to wire team with the best record in baseball. But please don't call them a dynasty just yet. But the curse of the Bambino is long gone now.Seems like yesterday that these guys were choke artists in October. Definitely not any more. Those chants of 1918 seem like a very distant memory. Certainly the hunted now. read more

5 Stars for the historical significance even if you aren't a baseball fan. You'll understand how and why baseball was America's favorite past time. As I took the Fenway tour and sat in the bleachers, I was in awe and admiration for the comradery among Americans and sport fanatics. There are seats where fans used to watch Jackie Robinson used to play, gloves, jerseys, baseballs, and bats on display. You'll see sections where the filmed the Town, and Moneyball. It's the oldest and smallest baseball field in America! The Venue: Receiving tickets isn't a walk in the park as I stood in line for over an hour just to purchase my tickets. You'd think that they'll have enough revenue to open extra lines with employees, but I guess not. (1/5) After receiving your tickets, you could walk along Yawkey St. to buy some items/gear before heading inside. It's definitely a good idea as the food and drink prices are skyrocketed. Walking up to your seats is fairly easy as it is divided among sections and rows. You'll be able to spot players on the field and see them pitch and throw the ball. I would come again to watch the game again the Dodgers, Angels, or Yankees. read more

Terrible team. Went to a game on my 21st birthday and was refused to be serviced at the bar. Ruined my 21st birthday. This was a few years ago but the impact of this event has stayed in my memory so do not spend your money here or else you will just be angry for years to come read more

"We are the champions, my friends"- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXw8CRapg7k Hurray for the Red Sox winning the World Series! They've been **WINNING** from the get-go, with the first World Series all the way back in 1917. The Red Sox are a splendid team, so much so that a sports bar out on Cape Cod stopped broadcasting football on its screens, and showed only the Sox on the field. They're currently headed to spring training in Florida, so if they can deal with Florida, they can deal with ANYTHING. One can see why the Sox fans are so fervent, piling into subways headed to Fenway to watch their beloved team. They command that kind of devotion. Baseball might not be as action-packed as football, MMA, or soccer. It's the contemplative, all-American game. Yay for the Sox!!!! read more

My love affair with the Boston Red Sox came late in life. As a Los Angeles native, I grew up loving one team. No...not the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim! I bled Dodger Blue all my life but was also a fan of many ball players, many of whom played for the Red Sox organization such as Wade Boggs, Mo Vaughn, Mike Greenwell, Ellis Burks, Roger Clemens, Dwight Evans, and Jim Rice just to name a few. As an adult, I found myself loving this ball club more and more. Going into the 2013 season, I had a good feeling about the Dodgers and Red Sox's chances of meeting in the World Series. In spite of Los Angeles' unreal 42-8 record prior to their interleague series, I knew Boston would bring the Dodgers back to reality. Sure enough, that series would be the beginning of the end of the Dodgers 2013 season. I want to congratulate the Boston Red Sox on their amazing campaign capturing the World Series. This year's team had a lot of heart and they knew what it took to win. It's a shame to see a couple pieces of the puzzle move on but I have faith this organization will do whatever it takes to win again next season. Finally, I don't care what haters say but I was so happy the day the Red Sox signed Manny Ramirez and enjoyed following him throughout his tenure here. (I'm one of those Manny fans who followed him dating back to the Minors.) Best wishes for 2014! read more

Boston Red Sox - Napoli vs Tillman 09/19/13 - Professional Sports Teams Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I've been a Boston Red Sox fan since 1986, because that's when my parents moved us from Arizona to Massachusetts. I never thought I'd see the day when the Red Sox would win the World Series, but I was there in Boston, celebrating with everyone else, diehard fans and band-wagon followers alike, the night we won in 2004. You shocked th world by winning again in 2007. From dresses, jerseys, t-shirts, hoodies, socks, ornaments, getting apartments near Yawkey way, to my license plate, my heart has been with the Red Sox for all these years. And today, I'm finally writing a review to say that you guys are awesome to let Nomar fulfill his dream and retire as a Red Sox player. NomAHHHH is thrilled and so am I. Thanks again, Red Sox. I'm still a fan, even though I live in CA now. The Padres got nothing on you. http://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2010/03/11/garciaparra_signs_with_red_sox_then_retires/ read more

Been back to Fenway a few times now since the last update. New manager this year, great choice with AC! Enjoying the season as most of us have never seen a team play this well.

Just know they lead the league in rain delays and cancelations. We got into town on a quick trip decided to get some tickets. With the Stadium packed, 5 mins before the first pitch they canceled the game due to a storm that cleared up after. They rescheduled the game 5 days later when we were out of town. I lost a couple 100s dollars on those tickets, walking out of the stadium met other families and fans who had the same story. One of the fans stated this was the 2nd time this had happen to him. Made accouple calls to there ticket department but their lines were always busy. Boston is beautiful city find something else to do. Do not waste your money on a scam like this one. read more

I love this baseball team. Go Red Sox! We are fans in my house. Fenway Park concessions are a delicacy in my family. Traditional favorites sausage and peppers, cracker jacks, and foot longs are sold by the many good people that work around the Park. To get there you just step on the Green Line and you will see everyone onboard wears the Red Sox logo. The T takes you right to Fenway. Boston is a very baseball centric city in that way. There is music on the short walk towards the ticket booth. Watching the Red Sox win is the best! read more

This was my son's first Red Sox game. We had a blast!! We tried all the different foods and hit the souvenir store. Unfortunately they did lose to the Houston Astros but that's okay. My son did get to see a World Series team. The game wasn't sold out and a security guard hearing it was my son's first Red Sox game. Moved us behind the Red Sox dugout and give him a few first game souvenirs. That was such a first game impression for my son. Thanks Red Sox Nation!! read more

I have a longstanding love affair with the Boston Red Sox. My earliest memory is the Red Sox defeating the formidable Chicago Whire Sox 7 - 6 at Comiskey Field in August 26, 1959. OK so I was only hours old but the Team was alredy in my DNA. Ted Williams, Johnny Pesky, Carl Yastremski....those were my idols. Fenway Park was my home away from home. I was there on October 1 1967 as Jim Longberg pitched us and Yaz hit us into the World Series...The Impossible Dream. On October 1, 1975 I watched Carlton Fisk will a ball out of here. I witnessed Clemens fan 20. I cried as the ball went between Buckner's legs and screamed for joy at Ortiz's 12th inning homer. So many thrills, moments of heartache and elation. Through them all, I have been, am, and always will be a loyal fan. Because they are the Red Sox. My Red Sox. The greatest sports team ever. read more

Would not recommend - brutal pitching, disinterested defense, owners no longer care, Chaim Bloom is the worst GM in the history of baseball.

For my 600th review, I would like to pause and write an homage to my home-town team, the Boston Red Sox, World Series Champions 2007. Living in Chicago, I have the distinct pleasure of avoiding all of the hype associated with the Sox. While many who live in the hub can't avoid the coverage, here it is all too easy to ignore the joy that is the Sox - at least in the regular season. I too was raised a Red Sox fan, though I believe my family took me to only 1 game while I was growing up. My fandom evolved into fanaticism when I went to grad school in Chicago, where the team to root for was the Cubs. The Cubs? Seriously, the Cubs. I dug my heels in, found a few other die-hard Sox fans, and began following the Sox with a fervor that I can only rationalize as an act of rebellion and a distraction from the grind that was school. In 2004 I had the luck to be working for a company that had offices in every baseball city in the country. I saw the Sox play the Mariners (and lose) in Seattle. And I managed to wrangle a ticket for World Series game #3 in St. Louis. I high fived with the strangers in front of me every time the Sox scored. The Cardinals fans (who escorted me to the game) were demoralized and crushed. I never saw them again. Sox Fans now have a bad reputation that is neither deserved nor fair. As a Sox fan in a Cubs/White Sox office (2005 wasn't a bad year at work...jeans day almost daily in October....) I do my best to maintain a low profile. There are no Sox banners hanging from my cube, obnoxious emails to my department crowing my team's victory. Oh no. That's bad form. Instead I have a small refrigerator magnet that I hang next to my name plate. Easily ignored, it signals to other Sox fans in the office that one of their own works there. I'll always be one of the Faithful. read more

#256-2016: I have a natural predisposition to ADORE anything about Boston, therefore it almost comes natural to adore and support the Boston Red Socks and support the team through thick and thin. What can I write that hasn't yet been written about this amazing team? It was established back in 1901; gaining affiliation to the American League that same year, the team had to wait until 1969 to get affiliation to the East Division. Iconic Bostonian Team landed Fenway Park as their gaming location in 1902. It landed 8 World Series Titles as well as 7 East Division Titles. Though they may not have many major titles, it is the passion with which they are supported by their audience and the commitment proved over and over again by the team members that makes this gracious Baseball Team my fave and one of the most beloved and recognized team. read more

There have been times that I have questioned whether or not I've *truly* been in love. I have certainly thought it a few more times, but my heart didn't truly swell and I wasn't about to do ANYTHING for them. When I ponder the loves of my life (plural), I consider... My boyfriend in high school- Josh- this sk8r boi who was the polar opposite of me but made me laugh. Until he dumped me for a sk8r gurl and left me crying in the hallways of the school. Mark, who was a pitcher for a college in Boston who I dated on and off (mostly off) for 10 years, and who I will always have a special spot in my heart for, even though he's married now with a baby (because I knew him first). There's Matt, who I would love dearly if his life wasn't such a clusterflick and wouldn't bring me down. I do love him...just not in THAT way. When I was watching the Red Sox last night, I knew it was love. My heart would swell when they would come up, and it would ache whenever they were thisclose to getting the plays right or the balls out. Sure, it's silly to be in love with a baseball team, and a sport as a whole. What can I say? Fenway Park has been the perfect date spot for as long as I can remember. Just me, and the men in uniform. read more

I will always be faithful and defend your honor to the haters out there. Thank you for everything...my first love, my true love...the Red Sox! read more

You could do a lot better than going with this business. Don't let the customer loyalty fool you -- they've failed to deliver over 90% of the time. Their competitors are a little bit further up the road, but the higher reliability makes going that extra distance a no-brainer. These guys do get an extra star for the nice building in which they conduct business, but buyer beware, as their product is the most expensive in the country, and over the long term among the least reliable. You'd do well to shop elsewhere. read more

Oh, Red Sox. You are no longer the scrappy team of underdogs of yesteryear. The rabid fans make it almost embarrassing to admit I'm from Boston in the first place. And the overenthusiasm bleeds unnecessarily into other situations (for example, people yelling "Yankees suck!!" at every sports event, not limited to baseball). I think the worst part about it is my grandmother can't even go to games anymore, the fans are literally too vicious for her sensibilities. It breaks my heart a bit, since she has been going to games at Fenway since she was a kid and absolutely loves baseball. read more

I suppose some congratulations are in order. You bandwagon jerks have finally done it. Life-long Sox fan here who can barely stomach going to games or watching on TV. If I may quote the movie Crash, "You embarrass me, you embarrass yourselves." I probably go to 15-20 Sox games a year. Take the Green Line in, and every time (legitimately every single time this year), someone dressed head to toe in Red Sox garb asks me what stop to get off for Fenway. Sometimes I get it more than once. Good grief. On Opening Day this year the woman sitting next to me spent 2 innings pontificating that it was a disgrace that they didn't retire Trot Nixon's number. And she was serious. Retire Trot Nixon's number! Dwight Evans would have vomited for an hour had he heard that idiot's lengthy diatribe. Also, the lack of availability/high price of tickets makes it such that most people can only get to Fenway once or twice a year. So, of course, they treat it like they have tickets to a Jimmy Buffet concert, and get properly smashed to celebrate the occasion. I last went to the Tuesday game against the DRays, and the 6 people surrounding me (in pretty nice seats, mind you), were all over 45 years old and all so drunk they could barely stand up. On a Tuesday night. Against Tampa Bay. The road games are even worse. They're practically home games now, replete with grown men and women bringing "Hey Don and Jerry, I'm a jerk, put me on TV" signs. Doing "Yankees Suck" chants in Arizona b/c that's what they think real Boston fans do. And BTW, does someone give Jerry Remy 20 bucks every time he complains about traveling? Yeah, life is tough, Jerry. Those chartered flights and first class hotels would be too much hassle for anyone. I could go on forever. The fans, goaded by the WEEI morons, turning on Damon for spurning a "take this offer and shove it" contract offer from the Sox to accept 12 million more from the Yankees, like we all would have stayed in Boston in that circumstance. Anyone wonder why Johnny isn't playing much CF for NY? Probably b/c he played his heart out here for 4 years, played hurt, and isn't the same. I was at that game when he returned and it made me sick. Booing an all-star like Damon and cheering a stiff like Doug Mirabelli like it was the Beatles debut on the Ed Sullivan Show. I can guarantee they'll all turn on Manny after his contract runs out, after 8 hall of fame years. These clowns may chant "Yankees Suck", but the Sox have become just as bad as the Yankees, and the true fans know it. Here's hoping for some mediocre seasons and/or people embracing another team, anything to return the team back to the real baseball fans. read more

Damn you, Red Sox! Have you returned to your old ways? Do I need to wait 87 more years for a World Series victory? I'll be dead by then, so I'd appreciate it if you could get it together sooner, please! But, I'm giving you 5 stars since I've been a fan since I was a wee tot. You're still the best team in the MLB even though you fall apart more than a teenage girl. read more

Signing the top import players, humiliating the Yankees in the first month, running away from the pack, having players who sound like breakfast cereal, advertising Dunkin Donuts in Kanji, making the playoffs, drunken river-dancing pitchers, coming back in the ALCS, converting me and my mum into baseball fans, sweeping the World Series, flipping over cars, parading through town on duck boats, a million people on the streets, and getting free tacos at my local taco bell with Ellsbury serving.
