After yet another disappointing season in 1966, some loyal Red Sox fans began organizing a
new group to celebrate
The Olde Towne Team. Some of the names were a little more high-profile than others —like
Dom DiMaggio (who would have celebrated his 99th birthday today) and
Ken Coleman—but most were average fans who simply loved the team. Not long after,
The BosSox Club was born—and it remains the
official booster club of the Boston Red Sox. Over the years, the club has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for worthy causes like:
The Jimmy Fund;
The Red Sox Foundation;
The Foundation to be Named Later;
Kevin Youkilis Hits for Kids; Little League Organizations throughout New England;
Curt's Pitch for ALS;
Local amateur baseball and softball camps; and
The Pan Mass Challenge. In addition, the Club sponsors luncheons and BBQs for its membership at a variety of locations and with special guests—including Red Sox and visiting players. Your humble
Editor-In-Chief was honored to serve on the BoSox Club Board of Directors (2004-2008, 2009-2010), so I know
exactly how special this organization is. For more information about the BoSox Club, email
