We all know about the right-field Pesky Pole (the one that’s the closest to home plate in all of baseball), but what about the other pole?

That’s what the Boston Red Sox were called up until 1907. The new team name came when the uniform colors changed and the red socks became an iconic piece of the outfit.

Back when they were the New York Highlanders, at the inaugural game at Fenway Park, the Red Sox won 7-6 in their brand new stadium.
In the best way! Fenway Park and the Boston Red Sox have the longest ticket sell-out streak in professional sports—820 games.
