The 1919 Boston Red Sox season was the 19th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox finished sixth in the American League (AL) with a record of 66 wins and 71 losses, 20+1⁄2 games behind the Chicago White Sox. The team played its home games at Fenway Park.
While World War I had ended in November 1918, players who had been drafted returned gradually during 1919. The season was shortened from 154 to 140 games and did not begin until mid-April,[1] with the Red Sox playing their first game on April 23.[2]
