Boston Red Sox - Home Ballparks

Fall 2022: To purchase a reasonably priced 8" x 24" plaqued mounted version of the Red Sox poster that's ready to hang on your wall, please visit Heritage Sports Stuff.

A. The Boston Red Sox franchise was established in 1901. The team has been known by two names as follows:
Boston Americans 1901-1907
Boston Red Sox 1908-Present
Note: The history of the Red Sox team nickname is the subject of some debate, largely because nicknames were somewhat unofficial in baseball’s early years. Extensive research has been done with respect to the Red Sox nicknames, and contrary to many published reports, the team was never officially known as the Puritans, Pilgrims or Beaneaters. The team has only been known as the Americans and the Red Sox.

B. The Red Sox have played in just two home stadiums:
1. Huntington Avenue Grounds, Boston
1901-11


2. Fenway Park, Boston
1912-Present

D. Celebrate the Red Sox uniform history by owning a piece of history:
If you love the Boston Red Sox and the history of the Red Sox franchise, you might really love to own an original piece of artwork celebrating the team's historic uniforms as seen in the poster at the top of this blog - you can actually own one of those original pieces of art! There are only 18 pieces of original art available for sale, and when these 18 are sold, that's it, they're all sold out.

These original watercolor paintings would make a great gift (birthday gift, anniversary gift, retirement gift, Christmas gift, etc.) for someone you love or even a great gift for yourself (one of these framed pieces would look fantastic in your home or office). Each piece can be bought one of three ways:
1. As unframed art that you could have framed or mounted yourself (the one on the left)
2. Framed in our "Classic" framed version (the middle version)
3. Framed in our "Deluxe" framed version (the version on the right)



If you would like more information about this great artwork including the three ways you could purchase each piece, please visit our Boston Red Sox YouTube video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIMJf3ua0Rw or go directly to the artwork website www.heritagesportsart.com/Boston-Red-Sox-c12/ where you can see and purchase the artwork.

And if someone you know loves the history of sports uniforms (but maybe another team) and loves great art, please let them know that we have over 1500 pieces of great original artwork for sale at www.heritagesportsart.com (all NFL teams, all MLB teams, all NHL teams, all CFL teams, select NCAA football teams) or check out each team's video at the Heritage Sports Art YouTube Channel www.youtube.com/user/ssillcox
