The Boston Red Sox have a history as old as baseball itself. The team, a charter member of the National Association of Professional Base Ball Players, is one of the longest running sports franchises in all American professional sports. The only team that comes close is the Chicago Cubs, but they took two seasons off after the fires. The Red Stockings, also known as the Red Caps and Beaneaters, dominated the National League through the late 19th century. So it was a real shock when the American League set up shop in 1901.

New England Sports Ventures (NESV), the owners of the Boston Red Sox will take over Liverpool after a legal dispute with the current American owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks is settled by the Premier League.

The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, and a member of the Major League Baseball’s American League Eastern Division. Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Red Sox's home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912. The "Red Sox" name was chosen by the team owner, John I. Taylor, around 1908, following previous Boston teams that had been known as the "Red Stockings".
