Boston Red Sox Team Preview

The Boston Red Sox had a disastrous 1906 season, winning only 49 games and losing 105. The team that had so much success in the past years, including winning the first ever World Series Championship was nowhere near where they had been in the past.

The pain of the previous season was clouded by a more serious pain, the tragic suicide of manager Chick Stahl. The team's owner John I. Taylor succombed to the pressure of the players and fans and sold the team to a new owner, James McAleer.

The team is hoping for a fresh start, with a new name the Red Sox. Player-Manager Jimmy Collins takes back the reigns of the team, and many players from 1906 return to hope and to have a better year than last. Aging pitcher Cy Young leads the staff along with fellow veterans Jesse Tannehill and Bill Dineen. Young pitcher Rube Kroh hopes to make an immediate impact. Veterans Buck Freeman, Jimmy Collins, and Fred Parent lead the offense, along with young Heinie Wagner and Tris Speaker.
