Who is the best Boston Red Sox player?
There have been several great players to have come through Boston. Cy Young, Carl Yastrzemski, and even Babe Ruth just to name a few. if i were to pick the greatest red sox player of all time, it would be Ted Williams hands down. But if i were to pick the best current red sox player i would have to chose Manny Ramirez. He has been a consistent batter throughout his career, with a Career BA over .300. He is on the list of top home run hitters of all time, and he is always clutch. I think he's second on the all time grand-slam list.

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.
How long is average Red Sox game last?
In the NBA there are 4 quarters in a game. Each quarter is timed 12:00 but with half time and everything it will be around 2-2.5 hours.
Is Aramis Ramirez reladed to manny ramirez?
Yess they are in a dominican news interview they asked aramis ramirez if they were brothers and he said yes manny is his older brother
Boston Red Sox are amongst the oldest of the American league teams. In 1903, they forced the owners of the National League to challenge the NL champ to play the AL champ (Red Sox) to a "world series." The NL agreed sending the Pitts. Pirates to Boston in hopes of winning the series and eliminating the young AL and preserve their baseball monopoly. Red Sox won the first world series, and created the 2 league MLB style world series for years to come. Red Sox won a few other world series, but all this ended in 1919, when they sold babe Ruth to the new AL team in New York, known as the Yankees. This started the Curse of the Bambino...requiring an 86 yr long wait before the Red Sox would win another world Series. Many Red sox players went on to the Hall of Fame, but the team will be forever immortalized by the series of unlucky mishaps and strange coincidences that would constantly rob them of post season glory for that 86 year time span.
Who was Boston the Red Sox player who played every position?
I don't know, but that can not ever happen and will not ever happen.
Not true. In fact, four different players have done it in Major League games, most recently Shane Halter for the Detroit Tigers in 2000. There is no official name for this feat, however.
What is the value of a Model 300 12 gauge Ted Williams shotgun?
The Sears 200 is probably a Winchester 1200. If so, it books up to $200, $220 with a vent rib, $240 with Winchokes. That value would be reduced somewhat because the store brand variations are generally of poorer quality to the manufacturer's name brand.
