The Green Monster and Beyond: A Look at Boston's Baseball Landscape
Boston's sporting heart beats strong, especially for baseball. Fenway Park, nicknamed "The Green Monster" for its towering left field wall, has been the stomping ground for the legendary Boston Red Sox since 1903. This team is a founding member of the American League and boasts a trophy case overflowing with nine World Series titles.
But hold on a sec, weren't there whispers of multiple teams in Beantown's past?
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
A Blast from the Baseball Past: Where'd All the Other Teams Go?
Well, you eagle-eyed fans might be surprised to learn that Boston did have a few other contenders back in the day. The Boston Braves (who later became the Atlanta Braves we know today) called Fenway Park home from 1876 to 1914. There was also a brief stint for the Boston Beaneaters in the late 1800s, though their legacy seems to have gotten lost in the Fenway Park popcorn.
So, what happened? Mergers, relocations, and the general churn of professional sports whittled Boston's baseball scene down to the mighty Red Sox.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
Fun Fact: The Red Sox even had a name change in their early years, starting out as the Boston Americans from 1901 to 1907. Guess they decided "Americans" wasn't catchy enough for America's pastime!
