The1946 Boston Red Sox season was the 46th season in the franchise'sMajor League Baseball history. TheRed Sox finished first in theAmerican League (AL) with a record of 104 wins and 50 losses. This was the team's sixth AL championship, and their first since1918 . In the1946 World Series , the Red Sox lost to theNational League (NL) championSt. Louis Cardinals , whose winning run in the seventh game was scored onEnos Slaughter 's famous "Mad Dash ".
The 1946 Red Sox were led by their All-Star left fielder,Ted Williams , who was in his first year back in the majors after serving as a fighter pilot in World War II. 1946 was Ted Williams first of two MVP seasons, and the only time he ever won a pennant. He was among the league leaders in many offensive categories, with abatting average of .342, 38home runs and 123runs batted in .[ 1]
On April 24, the Red Sox were 6–3, 1 game behind theYankees and tied for second with the defending world series championTigers .[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] [ 5] [ 6] Fenway Park history the Red Sox were averaging over 10,000 fans per game, averaging 18,166 fans per game throughout 1946.[ 7]
The Red Sox never turned back, winning 12 straight decisions from May 29 through June 11, including their second three-game sweep of the Tigers.[ 3] [ 8] [ 4] Yankee Stadium on September 2, expanding their lead to 15.5 games ahead of the Yankees and 18 games ahead of the Tigers. The Red Sox clinched the American League pennant on September 13, off of aninside-the-park home run hit by Ted Williams, the only one of his major-league career.[ 9] [ 10]
The Red Sox played a three-game series against an American League all star team following the end of the regular season and the beginning of the World Series. While the Red Sox had clinched in September, the St Louis Cardinals and Brooklyn Dodgers would play a three-game playoff for the National League pennant, pushing back the start of the World Series. The Red Sox hosted the three game exhibition series beginning October 1, 1946, at Fenway Park. The Red Sox won two of three, but Williams exacerbated his injury which would plague him in the Series against St. Louis.[ 11]
