The Boston Americans entered the American League in 1901, and eventually became the Boston Red Sox. (1907)
Though primarily known by that nickname, they were also occasionally called the Boston Somersets and later the Boston Pilgrims. All nicknames prior to 1908 were inventions of the headline writers and were in no way official.
The Boston Americans won the first ever World Series in 1903, beating the Pittsburgh Pirates 5 games to 3.[1]
The Americans were managed by Hall of Fame third baseman Jimmy Collins, and they finished second in the new American League with a record of 79-57. They played their home games at the Huntington Avenue Grounds.
