Boston Red Sox Team: One of the Top choices of Fans when it comes to Baseball Merchandise

Boston Red Sox fans no doubt still have some kind of euphoric hangover from their recent World Series win, even though it was almost two year ago. The Boston Red Sox Team won the 2007 World Series, the 103rd World Series played in Major League Baseball. A talented Boston Red Sox Team beat out the National League champion’s, the Colorado Rockies, who were making their first World Series appearance winning the championship in four games.



Fans of the team were ecstatic, as the Red Sox took their second World Series in only four seasons - the seventh overall for a team that has been at a top level for such a long time. That is probably why, according to diehardfans.com, one of the leading online retailers of sports related merchandise, Boston Red Sox Merchandise are some of the fastest moving items in their store, that and a strong tradition of winning and playing hard that has endeared them to their legion of fans.

Boston Red Sox Team History

The Boston Red Sox team history is quite a long and colorful one. The Red Sox have been with the league since 1901, probably longer than any living fan today. For the majority of that time, from 1912 actually, they called Fenway Park their home stadium. The Bosox, as their fans call them, were one of the American League's eight charter franchises.

While with the American league, they were THE team to beat, taking the first World Series in 1903 against the Pittsburgh Pirates. They again took four more World Series wins by 1918, raising their total to five. But then came the longest championship drought in league history – no championships for the Bosox from then on until they finally won another one in 2004, and then again in 2007.

Part of the reason they were unable to secure a championship during those times was the move of the Red Sox owner to move who could be the most famous baseball player of them all – Babe Ruth. On December 26, 1919, the Boston Red Sox team sent Babe Ruth (a six season veteran then) to the New York Yankees. As we all know, the Yankees soared while the Red Sox languished during those years. Thankfully for the fans, the Red Sox recaptured their mojo to be one of the best teams of the current decade.

Boston Red Sox Memorabilia

Aside from the history of winning and the fanatical fans, what makes Boston Red Sox Memorabilia so compelling to the fans. A quick peek at what types of memorabilia the site has to offer quickly gives an answer.
