September 10, 2001. A storm is brewing in New York City. A clash is about to begin. Tempers will soon rise as historical conquests and slights are remembered and renewed on the eve of this fight between ancient and embittered foes. Yes, the Boston Red Sox are playing the New York Yankees. ~ Hugh Howey
Boston Red Sox quotes by Hugh Howey
The actual fund is called "THE JIMMY FUND" and THE REDSOX FOUNDATION IN BOSTON has gotten involved and people all over New England are very supportive of this effort. The Jimmy Fund is an official charity of the Boston Red Sox and my song "Down at Fenway Park" is often played at Fenway and if you buy the C.D. a portion of the proceeds go to the Jimmy Fund via the Red Sox Foundation. ~ Freddy Cannon
Boston Red Sox quotes by Freddy Cannon
I'm very happy and excited to be a member of the Boston Red Sox. ~ Daisuke Matsuzaka
Boston Red Sox quotes by Daisuke Matsuzaka
Perhaps that wasn't the brightest parenting decision that I've made in the last ten years." -- (From TRADING MANNY, on letting my 7-year old son emulate Manny Ramirez) ~ Jim Gullo
Boston Red Sox quotes by Jim Gullo
Big Papi placed among the top five in Most Valuable Player balloting during his first five seasons with the Red Sox. His best finish in that span was second place in 2005, just losing out to Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees. It was A-Rod, however, who suggested he'd gladly trade his hardware for the ring Ortiz won in 2004. A-Rod got the hardware for MVP again in 2007, but it was Ortiz who got another ring. ~ Tucker Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tucker Elliot
Single drop of Lethe water would wipe your short-term memory. You wouldn't remember anything that happened in the last week. Take a full drink, or wade into those waters, and your mind would be completely erased. You wouldn't remember your own name, or where you came from, or even that the New York Yankees are obviously better than the Boston Red Sox. I know - terrifying, right? ~ Rick Riordan
Boston Red Sox quotes by Rick Riordan
People saying, 'Life didn't turn out the way I wanted it to.' Welcome to the club. I wanted to be the starting center-fielder for the Boston Red Sox, for chrissakes! ~ Denis Leary
Boston Red Sox quotes by Denis Leary
If there are any curses left in baseball, they are all on the north side of Chicago. ~ Tucker Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tucker Elliot
We've been waiting since 1918 for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series, and ... if I had a choice between the White House and the World Series this year, I'm going to take the White House. How's that? ~ John F. Kerry
Boston Red Sox quotes by John F. Kerry
This is our fucking city. And nobody is going to dictate our freedom. Stay strong.

David Ortiz, Boston Red Sox, April 21, 2013 ~ David Ortiz
Boston Red Sox quotes by David Ortiz
Seemingly every year at least one of the league's top sluggers can be found in Boston's lineup - and often times more than one. David Ortiz was second or third in slugging five consecutive seasons from 2003-07. Manny Ramirez was in the top five in slugging six consecutive seasons from 2001-06. Manny and Big Papi were one-two in slugging in 2004, and from 2003-06 Boston's big bats gave the club two of the league's top five sluggers - something no other team in the league could boast. ~ Tucker Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tucker Elliot
Ted Williams hit 17 career grand slams. He is the toughest batter to get out in major league history. It was never fun for opposing pitchers to have to face him, but that was never more true than it was when there was nowhere to put him - and his grand slam total is only one of the many franchise records that he owns. ~ Tucker Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tucker Elliot
So the guy who shot Gadhafi was wearing a Yankees cap. Did you see that? If he'd had a Boston Red Sox hat on he probably would have missed. ~ David Letterman
Boston Red Sox quotes by David Letterman
Bart Giamatti did not grow up (as he had dreamed) to play second base for the Red Sox. He became a professor at Yale, and then, in time president of the National Baseball League. He never lost his love for the Boston Red Sox. It was as a Red Sox fan, he later realized that human beings are fallen, and that life is filled with disappointment. The path to comprehending Calvinism in modern America, he decided, begins at Fenway Park. ~ David Halberstam
Boston Red Sox quotes by David Halberstam
The NRA was laying down its weapons. Yankee fans were rooting for the Boston Red Sox. The French were eating English food and loving it. Matthew was sure all those things were happening.... This was the proverbial cold day in hell, and Matthew was living it. ~ James Grippando
Boston Red Sox quotes by James Grippando
Under "Activities and Interests," it was written "Boston Red Sox." The Boston Red Sox, an activity and an interest. Not a devotion to be suffered. Not a solemn vow in the off-season. Not a memorial to a dead man. Not a calling beyond reason. Just an interest. I take an interest in when they play, whether home or away, whether they win or lose
things like that. Maybe read about it in the paper the next morning. Millions of others just like me, taking an interest. Not "Coronaries and Rehabilitations." Not "Dedications and Forfeitures." Not "Life and Death." "Activities and Interests." This was how it was presented, in terrifying simplicity. What it was all reduced to, the thirty years, and the stupid tears, and every extra inning. An activity and an interest. ~ Joshua Ferris
Boston Red Sox quotes by Joshua Ferris
There's almost nothing worse than spending an entire day anticipating watching a Yankees vs. Red Sox game, only to have the score be 9-0 in the third inning. ~ Tucker Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tucker Elliot
Joe DiMaggio batted safely in 56 consecutive games in 1941, the same season Ted Williams batted .406 - but did you know that also in 1941, Jeff Heath, an outfielder who spent a decade playing for the Indians, became the first player in AL history to hit 20 doubles, 20 triples, and 20 home runs in the same season? It's true. ~ Tucker Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tucker Elliot
Ben: You're gonna get arrested.
Lindsey Meeks: You can't sell your tickets!
Ben: That's why you ran across the whole field? ... Wait, you've got to tell me - was it spongy? ~ Jimmy Fallon
Boston Red Sox quotes by Jimmy Fallon
I have my loyalty to the team of my youth. Everyone I knew was a Red Sox fan. The team that I grew up with was constantly the underdog but managed to prevail. ~ Bill De Blasio
Boston Red Sox quotes by Bill De Blasio
I am a huge Red Sox fan. ~ Cass Sunstein
Boston Red Sox quotes by Cass Sunstein
The best show on television is Red Sox baseball. Everything else sucks. ~ Stephen King
Boston Red Sox quotes by Stephen King
Why? Why should the bond between a people and their baseball team be so intense? Fenway Park is a part of it, offering a physical continuum to the bond, not only because Papi can stand in the same batter's box as Teddy Ballgame, but also because a son might sit in the same wooden-slat seat as his father. ~ Tom Verducci
Boston Red Sox quotes by Tom Verducci
I am very much a Red Sox fan; I can name you more players than you could possibly imagine. It's just part of who I am. ~ Bill De Blasio
Boston Red Sox quotes by Bill De Blasio
It wasn't like it is now. But for the types of teams we had, the fans were very good here. On some Thursday afternoon games, we'd get 25,000 fans. That was remarkable. This has always been a great Red Sox city. ~ Curt Gowdy
Boston Red Sox quotes by Curt Gowdy
I'm helplessly and permanently a Red Sox fan. It was like first love ... You never forget. It's special. It's the first time I saw a ballpark. I'd thought nothing would ever replace cricket. Wow! Fenway Park at 7 o'clock in the evening. Oh, just, magic beyond magic: never got over that ~ Simon Schama
Boston Red Sox quotes by Simon Schama
I met Pendragon when I made the journey to the far desert. He is from the tribe known as ... as ... " Loor was scrambling. Bokka didn't know about the Travelers. I had to bail her out.
Yankees," I said. "The Yankees tribe." Hey, what can I say? It was the first thing that came to mind. "It's a strong tribe," I added. "Respected by all ... except for our mortal enemies, the Sox tribe. They hate us. Especially the Red ones. Cannibals. Nasty characters. ~ D.J. MacHale
Boston Red Sox quotes by D.J. MacHale
I'll (Phil Rizzuto) never forget September 6, 1950. I got a letter threatening me, Hank Bauer, Yogi Berra and Johnny Mize. It said if I showed up in uniform against the Red Sox I'd be shot. I turned the letter over to the FBI and told my manager Casey Stengel about it. You know what Casey did? He gave me a different uniform and gave mine to Billy Martin. Can you imagine that! Guess Casey thought it'd be better if Billy got shot. ~ Phil Rizzuto
Boston Red Sox quotes by Phil Rizzuto
I was late to the Knicks. My dad was a big fan. But I first started watching baseball; I became a Red Sox fan. My dad was a Mets fan. I wanted to have my own team and league. ~ Noah Baumbach
Boston Red Sox quotes by Noah Baumbach
You know, a lot of people say they didn't want to die until the Red Sox won the World Series. Well, there could be a lot of busy ambulances tomorrow. ~ Johnny Damon
Boston Red Sox quotes by Johnny Damon
I learned to bet the Red Sox, the Celtics, Suffolk Downs. I thought it was a glorious life - pull up to the doughnut shop, spread out, and plan your day. ~ Alex Rocco
Boston Red Sox quotes by Alex Rocco
If it was in my control, Id still be wearing a Red Sox uniform, because its the place I know, I love. All of those fans, Ill always remember. But Im also going to another great place. Im going to a phenomenal city with great tradition as well, phenomenal fans, great organization. ~ Nomar Garciaparra
Boston Red Sox quotes by Nomar Garciaparra
There was no telling who would win. It would definitely be close. But she knew which side she was pulling for. Go Red Sox. ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Boston Red Sox quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
He[Ted Danson] was clearly not a football player, and not only physically. He didn't bring that attitude, that mentality. At the time, there was a [Red Sox] relief pitcher named Bill Lee, the "Spaceman." He was kind of nuts, as we found out a lot of relievers are. ~ Shelley Long
Boston Red Sox quotes by Shelley Long
New York is great, but the New England fans are probably the most knowledgeable and ardent fans, and not just in baseball, but all sports. But Red Sox Nation is Red Sox Nation. ~ Dick Williams
Boston Red Sox quotes by Dick Williams
I live for the Red Sox. I thoroughly enjoy them. For whatever reason, baseball has been a lot more fun for me in recent years. I loosely follow the Patriots and I root for them. I loosely follow the Celtics and then it gets to playoff time and I don't miss a game. Same with the Bruins. I'm not the diehard fan anymore. ~ Doug Flutie
Boston Red Sox quotes by Doug Flutie
As I grew up, I knew that as a building (Fenway Park) was on the level of Mount Olympus, the Pyramid at Giza, the nation's capitol, the czar's Winter Palace, and the Louvre - except, of course, that is better than all those inconsequential places ~ Bart Giamatti
Boston Red Sox quotes by Bart Giamatti
Most people, when they imagine New England, think about old colonial homes, white houses with black shutters, whales, and sexually morbid WASPs with sensible vehicles and polite political opinions. This is incorrect. If you want to get New England right, just imagine a giant mullet in paint-stained pants and a Red Sox hat being pushed into the back of a cruiser after a bar fight. ~ Matt Taibbi
Boston Red Sox quotes by Matt Taibbi
If you had to point to one thing that made it less likely that the Red Sox would win the World Series, I would say it was those people that go to Fenway Park to watch the games. And then the media around it. ~ Michael Lewis
Boston Red Sox quotes by Michael Lewis
I once interviewed Robert Solow, winner of the 1987 Nobel Prize in Economics and a noted baseball enthusiast. I asked if it bothered him that he received less money for winning the Nobel Prize than Roger Clemens, who was pitching for the Red Sox at the time, earned in a single season. "No," Solow said. "There are a lot of good economists, but there is only one Roger Clemens." That is how economists think. ~ Charles Wheelan
Boston Red Sox quotes by Charles Wheelan
All I can say is, I will put my heart and soul into helping the Red Sox win. ~ Pedro Martinez
Boston Red Sox quotes by Pedro Martinez
From The Red Sox Reader:
"The Yankees may have always had the better players, but the Red Sox always had the better writers. ~ Dan Riley
Boston Red Sox quotes by Dan Riley
The Red Sox didn't handle negotiations with any kind of respect for me and my family, and the Rangers were the total opposite. ~ Mark Teixeira
Boston Red Sox quotes by Mark Teixeira
Rooting for the Red Sox is like rooting for the drug companies, ~ Sherrod Brown
Boston Red Sox quotes by Sherrod Brown
There's no comparison to me. There's nothing like Yankees- Red Sox to me. ~ Willie Randolph
Boston Red Sox quotes by Willie Randolph
Like all the other arrivals to the tournament, Hank had erected a banner in front. It was a long, tapering pennant with a blue and red circular design in the center and the words GO CUBS! on both sides.
Interesting," said Hugo. "What does it mean?"
It was a gift from Sam," Hank explained as they entered the tent. "He said it used to represent Triumph over Adversity, but now better represents Impossible Quests and Lost Causes."
I think I preferred not knowing that," said Hugo.
Hank grinned. "You're a Sox fan too, hey? ~ James A. Owen
Boston Red Sox quotes by James A. Owen
I'd love to open a restaurant that changes every month. One month it would be a mom and bar spaghetti-and-meatball, Red Sox place, and the next it would be a British pub, and everyone gets in a fight. ~ Graham Elliot
Boston Red Sox quotes by Graham Elliot
After all, a district judge who gives harsh sentences to Yankees fans and lenient sentences to Red Sox fans would not be acting reasonably even if her procedural rulings were impeccable. ~ John Paul Stevens
Boston Red Sox quotes by John Paul Stevens
If you're wondering what's wrong with Fenway Park in the first place, you're not the only one. Fenway is special precisely because it has what modern stadiums lack: seats that, while often cramped, offer the best views in baseball; and the sense that, if you squint, that could be Smoky Joe Wood pitching to Ty Cobb out there instead of Jeff Fassero and Bobby Higginson. ~ - Webmaster Neil DeMause
Boston Red Sox quotes by - Webmaster Neil DeMause
An almost inexorable baseball law: A Red Sox ship with a single leak will always find a way to sink No team is worshipped with such a perverse sense of fatality. ~ Thomas Boswell
Boston Red Sox quotes by Thomas Boswell
We all know the Red Sox did not win a World Series for 86 years after unloading Ruth, and the Cubs just might be carrying some heavy weight for past karmic transgressions. ~ George Vecsey
Boston Red Sox quotes by George Vecsey
on his lips. He's in jeans and loafers, a Red Sox windbreaker ~ Patricia Cornwell
Boston Red Sox quotes by Patricia Cornwell
We picked the Red Sox because they lose. If you root for something that loses for 86 years, you're a pretty good fan. You don't have to win everything to be a fan of something. ~ Jimmy Fallon
Boston Red Sox quotes by Jimmy Fallon
No matter what losses happen in a given season, the Red Sox always have next year. ~ Julianna Baggott
