A Chronological History of Amazing Boston Red Sox Losses, Remarkable Collapses and Other Record Breaking Feats
1900- | 1910- | 1920- | 1930- | 1940- | 1950- | 1960- | 1970- | 1980- | 1990-1999 | 2000-1990 88-74, won the AL East, lost to the Oakland Athletics in the ALCS
April 16, 1990: The Brewers' Ted Higuera gave up two hits in 6-1/3 innings, as Milwaukee shut out the Red Sox 18-0. Mike Boddicker took the loss for the Sox, giving up six earned runs in 2-1/3 innings.
May 4, 1990: The Red Sox acquired Tom Brunansky from the Cardinals for Lee Smith. Brunansky played outfield for Boston for three and a half years, batting .259 with some power. Lee Smith continued his All-Star career (appearing in five straight from 1991-95) as one of the dominant closers in the game. He earned his 300th career save on September 17, 1993 when he closed the door in a 5-4 game as a Yankee against Boston. The Red Sox moved Smith because they had Jeff Reardon to close.
| Year | Jeff Reardon | Lee Smith |
| 1990 (post-trade) | Boston, 31 saves, 3.16 ERA | St. Louis, 27 saves, 2.10 ERA |
| 1991 | Boston, 40 saves, 3.03 ERA, All-Star | St. Louis, 47 saves, 2.34 ERA, All-Star |
| 1992 | Boston/Atlanta, 30 saves, 3.41 ERA | St. Louis, 43 saves, 3.12 ERA, All-Star |
| 1993 | Cincinnati, 8 saves, 4.09 ERA | StL/NYY, 46 saves, 3.88 ERA, All-Star | 1994 | Yankees, 2 saves, 8.08 ERA | Baltimore, 33 saves, 3.29 ERA, All-Star | 1995 | Retired | California, 37 saves, 3.47 ERA, All-Star |
| 1996-97 | Retired | Cal/Cin/Montreal, 7 saves, 4.32 ERA |
July 17, 1990: In the fourth inning against Minnesota, with runners on first and second, Tom Brunansky hit a hard grounder up the third base line. 3B Gary Gaetti stepped on third (forcing out Jody Reed). Gaetti threw to Al Newman at second (forcing out Carlos Quintana), and Newman threw to Kent Hrbek on first to get Brunansky out for the triple play. In the eighth inning, with runners on first and second, Jody Reed hit a hard grounder up the third base line. Gaetti stepped on third (forcing out Tim Naehring). Gaetti threw to Newman at second (forcing out Wade Boggs), and Newman threw to Hrbek on first to get Reed out for the triple play. It is the only time in modern baseball history that a team turned two triple plays in the same game -- let alone identical 5-4-3 triple plays.
August 30, 1990: In the middle of a pennant run, the Red Sox wanted right-handed relief pitcher Larry Andersen from the Houston Astros. Houston asked for triple-A 3B Scott Cooper in return. Lou Gorman countered with (double-A) Eastern League MVP Jeff Bagwell, and Houston accepted. Bagwell, a perennial All Star, was named National League Rookie of the Year in 1991 and National League MVP in 1994 (the same year Larry Andersen retired from baseball as a Philadelphia Phillie).
September 9, 1990: Seattle's Matt Young struck out four Boston batters in the first inning (Jody Reed, Carlos Qunitana, Wade Boggs, and Mike Greenwell) en route to a 3-1 victory. A pitcher can strike out more than three hitters in an inning when the catcher drops a third strike and then fails to throw the runner out at first.
Neck and neck down the wire with Toronto, Boston won the AL East by a two game margin.
October 6, 1990: Wade Boggs homered in the fourth off of Dave Stewart to give the Red Sox a 1-0 lead in the first game of the ALCS. Oakland tied the game in the seventh, and took a one run lead in the eighth. Rickey Henderson had two hits in the ninth inning, as Oakland scored seven runs (the ALCS single inning record) to finish the game 9-1.
October 7, 1990: Oakland's Harold Baines singled in the tying run in the fourth, broke the 1-1 tie in the seventh, and got his third RBI on a double in the ninth. Oakland won 4-1.
October 9, 1990: The Red Sox took a 1-0 lead in the second inning. A double steal by Harold Baines and Jose Canseco tied the game in the fourth. Oakland pulled ahead by a run later in the inning. The A's added two more in the sixth and won 4-1.
October 10, 1990: In the second inning of game four, Roger Clemens allegedly threatened and told home plate umpire Terry Cooney to "put your #%&*ing mask on and get your %*&#ing $#* back behind the plate." Clemens was ejected and Oakland won the game 3-1, sweeping Boston in four games.
Boston scored just one run in each game against Oakland, the Red Sox had 31 total bases (the lowest total for any four-game league championship series). Their team batting average was .183. Carney Lansford had seven hits for Oakland in the four game series.
During the off-season, Boston declined to renew their contract with Dwight Evans. Instead of keeping Evans to play right (and continue to wear the only uniform that he had ever worn over since breaking into the majors in 1972), the Red Sox planned on using Mike Marshall. Marshall played in 22 games for Boston in 1991. Both Evans and Marshall retired after that season.
Lou Gorman signed three big money free agents in the off-season, slugger Jack Clark, and pitchers Danny Darwin and Matt Young. Clark hit 33 HR for the Sox before retiring two years later. Darwin and Young went a combined 37-42 for the Red Sox over the next four seasons.
1991 84-78, tied for 2nd place in the AL East, 7 games back of the Toronto Blue Jays
February 8, 1991: The Red Sox signed Roger Clemens to a contract worth over $5.38 million per year, the first time that any player was paid more than $5 million annually. Boston entered the 1991 season with the highest payroll in baseball.
May 27, 1991: The Yanks were down 5-0 against the Sox when Jesse Barfield hit a solo home run in the bottom of the fifth inning to make it 5-1. In the seventh, Mel Hall and Barfield each hit solo homers to bring New York within one run. Hall hit a three-run home run off of closer Jeff Reardon in the bottom of the ninth to give the Yankees a 6-5 victory.
June 26, 1991: The Red Sox waited until June 26 to bring up Mo Vaughn to the majors so that he wouldn't be eligible for arbitration for an extra year; he played the following day. The team had made the same (arbitration-driven) maneuver with Roger Clemens in 1984.
September 21, 1991: The Red Sox were within a half game of leading the AL East. They lost eleven out of fourteen and tied for second, seven games behind Toronto.

October 1, 1991: Boston OF Phil Plantier struck out five times against Tigers pitching during an 8-5 Red Sox loss at Fenway.
1992 73-89, last in the AL East, 23 games back of the Toronto Blue Jays
John Harrington thought he had Whitey Herzog committed to managing the team, but Herzog backed out. Having already fired Joe Morgan, Harrington promoted (AAA) Pawtucket manager Butch Hobson. It is interesting to note that Haywood Sullivan had backed out of an agreement to hire Herzog in 1979 when Jean Yawkey would not let him fire Don Zimmer.
April 12, 1992: Matt Young pitched a no-hitter for the Red Sox in Cleveland. He lost the game (2-1), as the Indians scored their two runs on seven walks, six stolen bases (four by Kenny Lofton) and a Luis Rivera error.
July 21, 1992: Hipolito Pichardo tossed a one-hitter against Boston as the Royals blanked the Red Sox, 8-0. Pichardo did not walk anybody and Kansas City had no errors; his perfect game was broken when Luis Rivera doubled on a 3-2 pitch with two outs in the sixth inning.
July 24, 1992: Scott Erickson gave up one hit as the Twins shut out the Red Sox, 5-0, at Fenway. It was the second one-hitter pitched against the Red Sox in four days.
August 9, 1992: Rookie pitcher Sam Militello made his major league debut against the Red Sox. He got the win, allowing one hit in seven innings, in a Yankee 6-0 victory.
Red Sox pitcher Matt Young had six fielding errors in a total of sixteen chances, for a fielding percentage of .625 in 1992.
December 15, 1992: Boston refused to give third baseman Wade Boggs (who had played his whole career with the Red Sox) a long-term contract. Boggs signed with the Yankees, with whom he would get his only World Series ring four years later. He also won two Gold Glove awards as a Yankee, in 1994 and 1995. He'd been denigrated about his defense in Boston.
1993 80-82, 5th place in the AL East, 15 games back of the Toronto Blue Jays
April 22, 1993: Seattle Mariner Chris Bosio no-hit the Red Sox, winning 7-0.
September 17, 1993: New York's Lee Smith got the save in a 5-4 victory over Boston. It was Smith's 45th save of the season, and the 300th save of his career.
September 18, 1993: At Yankee Stadium, facing Boston, New York was down by two (with two out) in the bottom of the ninth. Yankee catcher Mike Stanley hit a pop fly to left for the final out. However, umpire Tim Welke had just called time as the pitch was delivered--a fan had run onto the field. In his second chance, Stanley hit a single. Wade Boggs followed with a hit, Dion James walked, and Don Mattingly hit a two-run single to win the game.
A weak second-half placed the Red Sox fifth in the AL East, with a .494 record.
1994 54-61, 4th place in the AL East, 17 games back of New York when the season was cancelled
April 18, 1994: Tim Raines had four hits (including three home runs) and a walk against the Red Sox during a 12-1 White Sox victory at Fenway. He scored five runs in the game.
May 7, 1994: Boston took a 5-4 lead over New York in the top of the eighth inning on a Mo Vaughn two-run homer. New York's Luis Polonia drew a leadoff walk after falling behind 0-2 to Jeff Russell in the bottom of the ninth. After Polonia stole second, and later scored the tying run, Randy Velarde's sacrifice fly brought Gerald Williams home to win the game.
May 20, 1994: The Minnesota Twins had 22 hits during a 21-2 beating of the Red Sox. Kirby Puckett had seven RBIs when he went three-for-three (including one home run) at the plate. The nineteen run margin-of-victory was the Twins' largest up to that point in their history.
May 29, 1994: Boston's Danny Darwin gave up thirteen hits (and eight earned runs) over 4-2/3 innings pitched in Texas. The Rangers won the game 8-6.
May 31, 1994: Boston traded Paul Quantrill and Billy Hatcher to the Phillies for Wes Chamberlain and Mike Sullivan. Sullivan never made it to the majors, and Chamberlain played in 58 games for the Sox over two season -- batting .223. Quantrill went on to become on of the more reliable relievers in the game and appeared in the 2001 All Star Game for the Blue Jays.
June 8-19, 1994: The Red Sox lost 14-5 in Detroit and were then swept by Baltimore, Minnesota, and Cleveland -- representing an eleven game losing streak. Between May 20 and June 17, Boston played 25 games and allowed 178 runs to be scored (averaging over seven per game).
August 10, 1994: Kirby Puckett had his second seven-RBI game of the season against the Red Sox. He scored four runs, had two hits and was walked three times during the 17-7 Minnesota victory.
Boston had another strong start, but dropped to finish the season in fourth place. They won only one game, and lost eight, against Minnesota during the strike-shortened season. Butch Hobson was fired as manager after his third consecutive losing season. After Tony LaRussa showed no interest, Kevin Kennedy was hired to take Hobson's place.
1995 86-58, won the AL East, lost to the Cleveland Indians in the ALDS
May 24, 1995: Seattle 3B Mike Blowers had eight RBI on two doubles, a triple, and a home run against Boston. The Mariners won the game, 15-6.
June 10-11, 1995: Oakland's Mark McGwire had six hits, including five home runs, in seven at-bats over two days at Fenway. He also walked three times. The Athletics won both games, 8-5 and 8-1.
The Red Sox used 26 pitchers and won the AL East with an 86-58 record in the strike-shortened season.
October 3, 1995: After a brief rain delay, the opening game of the ALDS started and Boston took a 2-0 lead over Cleveland in the third inning. Roger Clemens gave up three runs in the sixth, and Boston's Luis Alicea knotted it up on a homer in the eighth. The game remained tied at three and went into extra innings. In the top of the eleventh, Red Sox 3B Tim Naehring homered, but Albert Belle sent one over the fence in the bottom of the inning to tie it back up. Belle's bat was confiscated after Boston protested that it was illegally corked. The Indians loaded the bases in the twelfth, but could not score. Former Red Sox catcher Tony Pena hit a homer in the bottom of the thirteenth inning, giving Cleveland the first game of the playoffs. Belle's confiscated bat was sawed in half by American League officials, who found nothing. It has been alleged that Indians P Jason Grimsley climbed through the ductwork of Jacobs Field to replace Belle's confiscated bat with another.
October 4, 1995: Orel Hershiser struck out seven as he shutout Boston, 4-0, in game two of the best-of-five Series.
October 6, 1995: Cleveland scored seven runs off of Tim Wakefield in the first six innings. Cleveland's Charles Nagy held Boston to four hits and one run through seven. The Indians posted an 8-2 victory and advanced to the ALCS.
Mo Vaughn, the regular season strikeout leader (150 K in 550 AB), was fanned seven times in the three game series. Neither Vaughn nor Jose Canseco had a hit for the Sox in the '95 ALDS. Boston stranded a total of 28 runners during Cleveland's sweep.
1996 85-77, 3rd place in the AL East, 7 games back of the New York Yankees

June 10, 1996: Red Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield allowed 16 hits (the most in one game by one pitcher in the '90s) during his complete game 8-2 loss to the White Sox. In his previous outing, on June 6 versus Milwaukee, Wakefield gave up eleven his in 3-2/3 innings; over the four-day stretch, he allowed fifteen runs (thirteen of them earned) on twenty-seven hits over 11-2/3 innings pitched.
June 25, 1996: Boston played Cleveland for the eleventh time in 1996. They lost the game, 4-0, and had not beaten the Indians all season.
July 30, 1996: Seattle traded Outfielder Darren Bragg to the Red Sox in exchange for pitcher Jamie Moyer. From 1996-1999 Moyer was one of the most consistent starters in the league, going 52-24 and posting a 3.70 ERA. Bragg played 2-1/2 years with Boston, hitting .264 with a total of 20 HR and 21 SB.
The Indians took eleven out of twelve games against the Red Sox during 1996 (including all six played in Cleveland). Boston pitcher Tom Gordon led all pitchers in the majors by allowing 134 earned runs. The '96 Sox allowed 5.69 runs to be scored per game.
December 13, 1996: After failing to come to terms with (and rejecting a last minute offer from) the Boston Red Sox, pitching legend Roger Clemens -- who threw 38 shutouts during his Boston career -- signed as a free-agent with the Toronto Blue Jays.
December 17, 1996: Looking for a starter to replace The Rocket, Boston signed free agent Chris Hammond, formerly of the Florida Marlins. Hammond went 3-4 with a 5.92 ERA for the Sox in 1997. Roger Clemens won the 1997 Cy Young award. After winning it again in 1998, he was traded to New York, where he earned two consecutive World Series rings. In 2001 (still with the Yankees), he became the first pitcher in history to start the season with a 20-1 record; he finished 20-3 and won another Cy Young. His record over the first seven years after he left Boston was 118-49.
1997 78-84, 4th place in the AL East, 20 games back of the Baltimore Orioles
April 29, 1997: All three Angel outfielders threw out Red Sox runners in a game where California won 5-4.

June 26 & 28, 1997: Detroit's Brian Hunter had four stolen bases against the Red Sox during a 10-6 win at Fenway on June 26. Two days later, his teammate Damion Easley repeated the feat during a 9-2 victory. Nobody in the league had four stolen bases in any game during the rest of the season.
July 12, 1997: Roger Clemens made his Fenway debut in a Blue Jay uniform, striking out sixteen while continually glaring up at Boston GM Dan Duquette in his suite. Duquette was quoted as saying that Clemens was "in the twilight of his career" after he signed with the Blue Jays. Clemens won the game (3-1) while improving to 14-3 on the season.
August 3, 1997: The Kansas City Royals had six hits off of Red Sox starter Tim Wakefield. But, four were home runs, as Kansas City beat Boston, 5-2.
September 16, 1997: A pair of losses to the Yankees (2-0 and 4-3) eliminated the Red Sox from playoff contention. Andy Pettitte struck out twelve Red Sox in eight innings pitched during the first game -- 12 Ks is the most Pettitte has ever racked up in his career.
For the third year in a row, the Red Sox led the league in errors. Mo Vaughn committed more errors than any other firstbaseman in the AL. Boston won three games, and lost eight, versus Chicago, Kansas City, and Texas (all three teams had losing records).

September 30, 1998: Boston took a 2-0 lead in the first inning of game two. Cleveland's starting pitcher, Doc Gooden, and manager, Mike Hargrove, were both ejected from the game. The Indians came back with one run in the bottom of the inning and sent Tim Wakefield to the showers with five more in the second. Six runs were all they needed, as Cleveland beat Boston 9-5.
October 2, 1998: Cleveland managed only five hits in nine innings off of Bret Saberhagen, Jim Corsi, and Dennis Eckersley. But four were solo home runs (two by Manny Ramirez). Cleveland won the game 4-3.
October 3, 1998: In game four, Pete Schourek and Derek Lowe combined for seven innings of shutout ball. With a one run lead, Boston closer Tom Gordon came into the game in the eighth. He gave up a two-run double to David Justice, Boston lost game, and Cleveland (despite batting just .206 in the Series) moved on to face New York in the ALCS. Gordon had blown only one other save all year (on April 14).
In the four game series, Cleveland had twelve doubles and seven home runs.
1999 94-68, AL Wildcard, lost to the New York Yankees in the ALCS
In an attempt to boost stadium food sales, the Red Sox decided to no longer permit street vendors in front of Fenway. George "the Peanut Guy," was evicted from the spot on Yawkey Way where his family (dating back fifty-plus years to his grandfather) had sold peanuts, cashews, and pistachios. Public outcry forced the team to rethink their decision.
May 31, 1999: Detroit's Damion Easley tied the major league record when he was hit by Red Sox pitchers Tom Gordon, Pat Rapp, and Mark Portugal in the same game. He was again hit three times by Boston pitchers on July 16, 2002.--!> August 7, 1999: In the final year of his career, Wade Boggs got his 3000th hit. He was playing for the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
With a 94-68 record (their most wins and best record since 1986), the Red Sox won the wildcard, four games back of New York. They avenged their prior year's Division Series loss, coming back from a two game deficit to beat Cleveland three games to two. For the first time ever, the Boston Red Sox would face their archrivals, the New York Yankees, in the postseason.
October 13, 1999: Boston took a 3-0 lead in the second inning of the opening game of the ALCS. New York 3B Scott Brosius hit a two-run homer off of Kent Mercker in the bottom of the inning. He collided at the plate with Jason Varitek on a Derek Jeter single in the seventh. The ball was knocked loose, and the game was tied at three. The game went to the top of the tenth as Jose Offerman singled to start off the inning. John Valentin followed with a grounder to third. New York 3B Scott Brosius threw to Chuck Knoblauch at second, who dropped the ball. But, umpire Rick Reed called Offerman out. Brian Daubach hit into a double play to end the Sox inning. In the bottom of the tenth, Bernie Williams took Rod Beck's second pitch deep to win 4-3. Reed later admitted that he blew the tenth-inning call on Offerman. Nomar Garciaparra had two errors in the game.
October 14, 1999: The Red Sox had a 2-1 lead going into the bottom of the seventh. Ramon Martinez walked Rickey Ledee, who moved to second on a Scott Brosius sacrifice. After Joe Girardi popped out, Chuck Knoblauch drove Ledee in with a double to left. Paul O'Neill (playing with a broken rib) hit a Rheal Cormier fastball to center to bring Knoblauch home, giving the Yanks a one run lead. Boston had the bases loaded with one out in the eighth, but Yankees reliever Ramiro Mendoza struck out Butch Huskey, and then got Jose Offerman to fly out to end the inning. Mariano Rivera came in to save the game in the ninth as New York won their second consecutive game by one run (3-2). Boston left thirteen runners on base and went 1-for-13 with runners in scoring position. It was the Yankees twelfth consecutive playoff victory -- matching their own record set between 1927 and 1932.
October 17, 1999: After a 13-1 Pedro Martinez shellacking on the prior day, Boston took another lead in game four. They were up 2-1 after three innings. New York scored two in the fourth (helped by a pair of Red Sox errors). The Yanks were leading 3-2 in the bottom of the eighth when Umpire Tim Tschida called Boston's Jose Offerman out on a missed tag at second. New York scored six in the top of the ninth (four were on a Ricky Ledee pinch-hit grand slam of off Rod Beck). After another questionable call, Boston manager Jimy Williams took the field in the bottom of the ninth to protest, throwing his cap. Fans at Fenway took it as a cue to start throwing bottles onto the field; Williams was ejected. Yankees reliever Jeff Nelson had to be restrained from attacking Fenway security guard Steve Corcoran, who was shouting profanities at the team as they sought shelter in the dugout. The Yankees won 9-2.
October 18, 1999: Orlando Hernandez was named the ALCS MVP when he got the win as the Yankees earned their 36th American League Pennant with a 6-1 victory over Boston. The Red Sox stranded eleven runners in the game.
Boston OF Darren Lewis batted .118 in the ALCS. Red Sox reliever Tom Gordon appeared in three games, allowing three earned runs in two innings pitched. Boston had ten errors in five games (four by Garciaparra); their .945 fielding percentage in the '99 ALCS is the second worst ever. They did not turn a double play. Boston stranded 45 runners, the most ever in a five-game ALCS. The Yankees moved on to sweep Atlanta in the World Series. That team featured two former Red Sox pitchers; Roger Clemens and Mike Stanton.
October 20, 1999: Celebrating the Red Sox's first ALCS appearance in nine years, Boston held a rally on the steps of City Hall. Two hundred and fifty fans attended.
