← 1915 Seasons 1917 →

The 1916 Boston Red Sox season was the 16th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox finished first in the American League (AL) with a record of 91 wins and 63 losses. The team then faced the National League (NL) champion Brooklyn Robins in the 1916 World Series, which the Red Sox won in five games to capture the franchise's second consecutive and fourth overall World Series.

Ballparks[edit]

While the Red Sox' home field was Fenway Park, their final two regular season games—a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics—and their three home games of the World Series were played at Braves Field,[1] due to its larger seating capacity.[2]

Between the end of the regular season and the start of the World Series, Boston and Philadelphia played an exhibition game in Worcester, Massachusetts, on October 5.[3] The game was played to raise money for a grave monument for former National League umpire John Gaffney, who had grown up in Worcester and died in 1913.[4]
