TheBoston Red Sox, aprofessional baseball franchise inMajor League Baseball (MLB), has given the title ofcaptain to select players since the team's inaugural season as a member of theAmerican League in 1901 (the team was known as the Boston Americans through the 1907 season). For various seasons during the team's history, the position has been vacant; while in early baseball a captain was responsible for many of the functions now assumed bymanagers andcoaches,[1] the title is purely honorary in modern professional baseball. Since the end of World War II, only three players have served as captain of the Red Sox. The most recent wascatcherJason Varitek, who was captain during the 2005–2011 seasons, and wore a distinctive "C" on the left side of his jersey, similar to captains in theNational Hockey League.[2]

Captains

[edit]
Jimmy Collins was the franchise's first captain, when the team was known as the Boston Americans.
Dick Hoblitzell was captain in 1918.
Jimmie Foxx was captain for three seasons during World War II.
Carl Yastrzemski served the longest tenure as Red Sox captain, 1966 and 1969–1983.
Jim Rice was captain during 1985–1989.

The history of Red Sox captains was researched by baseball historian Howard W. Rosenberg in 2004. The Red Sox front office contacted Rosenberg in advance ofJason Varitek being named captain, after learning that Rosenberg, author of a 2003 book featuring captains in 19th-century baseball, had disputed the official count of captains inNew York Yankees franchise history.[3][4]
