Why was the name of the Boston Americans changed to Red Sox?
The Boston Red Sox were known as the Boston Americans at the time of the American League becoming a part of Major League Baseball in 1901. The Chicago White Stockings were ALSO one of the original American League teams. The White Stockings won the very first A.L. Pennant and local sports writers and fans immediately began calling them the White Sox, though the organization didn't OFFICIALLY adopt the name change from White Stockings to White Sox until 1904...The Boston Americans didn't become the Boston Red Sox until 1908. Four years AFTER the White Sox. The Boston RedSox have never been known as the RedStockings. They were the Sommersets from 1901-1902 and the Pilgrims from 1903-1906 and then the RedSox in 1907-present. The Boston RedStockings played in the National Association from 1871-1875. The Red Stockings did not become the Red Sox. They eventually became the Atlanta Braves because they were in the National League. Here's what happened: The original professional baseball team was the Cincinnati Red Stockings. They played amateur teams in the around 1869-1870. In 1871 the first major league - called the National Association - was formed. Boston Businessman/Visionary Ivers Whitney Adams founded, organized and became President of the Boston Base Ball Club, the Boston Red Stockings. He brought in manager Harry Wright from the Cincinnati Reds when their team folded in 1970, and as a result, the best of the Cincinnati team moved with Harry to Boston to became the Boston Red Stockings. Five years later, in 1876, the National League as we now know it was formed and the Boston Red Stockings were a charter team. In the 1880's they changed their name to the Beaneaters. Later they changed it to the Doves, then the Boston Braves. In 1953 the Boston Braves moved to Milwaukee. In 1966 they moved again to Atlanta, where they remain today. So where did the Red Sox come into it? When the American League began in 1901 Boston was a charter team. Because Boston already had a National League team, the Boston Braves, the American League team called itself the Americans. A couple of years later they used Somersets and Pilgrims as nicknames. In 1908 the National League Boston Braves changed their uniforms. The new ones had blue socks instead of the red ones they'd worn since 1871. SO... the American League team decided to switch to red socks and take their nickname from the original 1871 National Association Boston Red Stockings, but then modernized it as Red Sox. A side note: There was another league in the 1880's called the American Association, and the Boston team in that league called itself the Boston Reds. A different team altogether. Boston has had major league baseball continuously since 1871...longer than any other city. Boston's own, Iver Whitney Adams, founded Baseball in Boston.
