The Boston Red Sox are an American professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts.

They have been a member of the American League since its inaugural season of 1901, playing their first seven seasons as the Boston Americans.
† During the ownership tenure of Mrs. Jean R. Yawkey, Haywood Sullivan and Buddy LeRoux became general partners.[1] A purchase of the team from the estate of Tom Yawkey was approved by the league in May 1978, resulting in each of Mrs. Yawkey, Sullivan, and LeRoux having a one-third controlling interest in the team as general partners.[2] This stood until March 1987, when Yawkey bought out LeRoux, following a failed attempt by LeRoux to take control of the team.[3] Mrs. Yawkey's majority ownership of the team passed upon her death in February 1992 to JRY Trust, which later bought out Sullivan in November 1993.[4]
