Offseason
Regular
season
After a memorable 1946 season, the Red Sox
added lights to Fenway
Park for the first time. 1947 looked like another big year for
Boston, but Boo Ferriss, Mickey Harris, and Tex Hughson all had arm trouble, and from
62 wins in 1946 they dropped to 29 in 1947. Boston finished 3rd, 21
less than their American League Championship season a year earlier,
14 games behind the eventual world champion New York Yankees. Joe Dobson was the top
winner with 18 wins, and Ted Williams hit .343, with 22 homers and
114 RBIs.
- July 20:Henry Thompson and Willard Brown of the Browns played
against the Boston Red Sox. It was the first time that two black
players appear in a Major League game together. [4]
