The First World Series Champions (1903) |
With their eighth World Series title in tow, the Boston Red Sox now rank fourth on the all-time list of Fall Classic wins. Boston trails only the New York Yankees (27), the St. Louis Cardinals (11) and the Oakland Athletics (9). The Boston franchise (founded in 1901) today holds the distinction of being the
very first World Series Champion (1903)
and the
most recent (2013). The Red Sox have also won the third most American League pennants (13), trailing the Yankees (41) and the A's (15).
