The Rooters were also a force in the Red Sox World Series wins of 1912, '15, and '16, though by the championship season of 1918 they were gone.
When the American League came to town in 1901, the Royal Rooters transferred their affections and hortatory chants to the Red Sox.
McGreevey—recalled today as ''Nuf Ced," a nickname deriving from his customary declaration of certitude—led Boston's fanatical ''Royal Rooters" through some 20 years of organized partisanship for Boston's baseball teams, beginning in 1897 as a contingent from Roxbury dedicated to the Nationals.

During the following decade "Bullet Joe" ran his record up to pitching five World Series games for the American League: with Philadelphia in 1913-14, the Boston red Sox in 1918, where he teamed with the heroic Babe Ruth, and the New York Yankees in 1922-23.
Then in 1912, in a single season, he played with the Brainerd outfit, transferred to the Missoula team in Montana, and there picked up by Connie Mack so quickly that he was found pitching for the Philadelphia Athletics before the season was out.
Then within a matter of months, in the World Series of 1913, when Bush was still only 20 years old, he rocketed into national prominence by defeating the New York Giants 8-2.

The Yankees won the day, driving a stake through the hearts of their rivals' fans when Bucky Dent drove a game-winning home run over the "Green Monster," one of several emotional moments in the team's history that had Red Sox fans wondering if their team was under some kind of a curse.
The Yankees are only the third franchise in sports history to draw over 4 million in regular season attendance at their own ballpark (the others being the 1993 Toronto Blue Jays with 4,057,947 and the 1993 Colorado Rockies with 4,483,350).
During the early 1900s, the nickname "Yankees" was occasionally applied to the club, as a variant on "Americans", verifiably as early as June 21, 1904, when Patsy Dougherty was traded from Boston to New York, and the Boston Herald's report was headlined "Dougherty as a Yankee".

All eyes -- players', coaches', writers' -- turned toward Roger Clemens, who dropped off his stuff, smiled at the picture of Rube Marquard posted in his locker by the PR department, then disappeared to prepare for his start that night against his former team, the Boston Red Sox.
With a victory, which everyone thought was a lock, the Rocket would be 20-1 on the season, surpassing Marquard's 19-1 in 1912 for the best start in major league history.
He's been labeled a has-been, a mercenary, a jerk, even a rube.
