	Boston Red Stockings - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Association Boston Red Stockings were probably the dominant team of that era.
		Boston formed in 1871 when many of the players from the original Cincinnati Red Stockings joined the club.
		In 1876 this team joined the National League as the Boston Red Caps, were later named the Boston Braves, and are now the Atlanta Braves.

	Atlanta Braves - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the team rallied to sweep the Cincinnati Reds in a doubleheader on July 19, Stallings declared that the team was playing ball better than any other in the league, and was ready to catch New York.
		When the N.A. formed, Red Stockings founder Harry Wright and the best players from that team re-formed in Boston and took the nickname with them.
		Prior to 1912, the Boston team had several unofficial nicknames: "Red Stockings" in the 1870s and 1880s; "Beaneaters" in the 1890s and early 1900s; "Doves" (when the Dovey family owned the franchise, 1907-1910) and "Rustlers" (when William Russell owned the franchise, 1911).

	Boston Red Sox
		The Red Sox were owned by Joseph Lannin from 1913 to 1916 and he signed Babe Ruth, commonly seen as the best player in baseball history.
		Red Sox fans remember 1967 as the year of the "Impossible Dream." The team had finished the 1966 season in last place, but they found new life with Yaz leading the team to the World Series.
		Many Red Sox fans blamed their manager, Grady Little for the loss, as his decision not to take out Red Sox ace pitcher Pedro Martinez after seven strong innings led to an eighth inning in which the Yankees scored three runs to tie the game.

		The original Boston Red Stockings of the 1870s are relegated to a dusty corner of the city's sports attic.
		Boston, whose population stood at 250,000, was one of the few major cities in the Northeast without an upper-echelon ball club.
		Boston's dominance over the National Association, which seemed to increase each year, turned out to be partially responsible for the league's demise as it gave way to the new National League in early 1876.

		The Red Stockings were referred to as a "picked nine," which might have been an exaggeration-but it was a nine picked by Harry Wright.
		The Red Stockings used cricket flannel and, to keep costs down, uniforms were ordered in just three basic sizes, so that a player could substitute for a worn-out uniform part quickly and economically.
		Running a gauntlet of catcalls, jeers and projectiles, the defeated and dejected Red Stockings were fortunate to escape the playing field and the borough of Brooklyn with their lives.

		BOSTON RED STOCKINGS: The rich just continue to get richer, as the Red Stockings added even more top players by buying up most of the top players from the defunct Middletown club, and are expected to easily win their second straight NA crown.
		Boston's expected competition for the NA crown, the New York Mutuals, never really came together at all, as subpar seasons by many regulars (including, most prominently, Adrian "Cap" Anson) caused the team to collapse into the second division.
		BOSTON RED STOCKINGS: The Red Stockings won their second consecutive championship in 1873, and kept their entire team intact for the 1874 season.
