Robert Quinn Heinie Wagner WNAC(Fred Hoey) bos BOS The 1930 Boston Red Sox season was the 30th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The team's home field was Fenway Park. The Red Sox finished last in the eight-team American League (AL) with a record of 52 wins and 102 losses, 50 games behind the Philadelphia Athletics, who went on to win the 1930 World Series. The Red Sox played their Sunday home games at Braves Field this season, as had been the case since the team's 1929 season, due to Fenway being close to a house of worship. The team played a total of 20 home games at Braves Field during the 1930 season; 16 games on Sundays, plus two non-Sunday doubleheaders.https://www.retrosheet.org/boxesetc/1930/PKL_BOS081930.htm 1930 Log For Braves Field in Boston, MA Retrosheet September 18, 2019 Regular season Season standings Record vs. opponents BOS Opening Day lineup Jack Rothrock RFOtto Miller 3BTom Oliver CFRuss Scarritt LFBill Regan 2BPhil Todt 1BBill Narleski SSJohnnie Heving C Danny MacFayden P Roster 1930 Boston Red Sox Roster Pitchers Bill Bayne Frank Bushey Ed Durham Milt Gaston Bob Kline Hod Lisenbee Danny MacFayden Ed Morris Frank Mulroney Red Ruffing Jack Russell Ben Shields George Smith Catchers Charlie Berry Ed Connolly Johnnie Heving Infielders Otto Miller Bill Narleski Bobby Reeves Bill Regan Hal Rhyne Bill Sweeney Jerry Standaert Phil Todt Rabbit Warstler Outfielders Bill Barrett Joe Cicero Cedric Durst Tom Oliver Jack Rothrock Russ Scarritt Charlie Small Earl Webb Other batters Jim Galvin Tom Winsett Manager Heinie Wagner Coaches Jack McCallister During the season, the Red Sox and the Boston Braves wore a patch commemorating Boston's tricentennial.
