You do not merely support us—you lift us. You drive us. You inspire us. You come early. You wear red. You sing “Sweet Caroline/’ You cheer proudly and loud¬ ly. When we visit your communities, you’re there, too. You tell us how you feel (with notable candor!). You established an all-time attendance record. And for the first time in the history of the Boston Red Sox, you made every game at Fenway Park a sell-out. All 81. Dating back to May of2003, that’s 145 sell-outs in a row—the third longest streak in the history of base¬ ball. For the first time ever, more than 2.8 million of you attended our games. We have translated your support into the best team we could field, and what a team it is. It is a hard-playing, fun-loving, unified band of brothers. It’s a team of intense competi¬ tors; it’s a team with personality. We have translated your support into Fenway Park improvements that, we hope, have made America’s Most Beloved Ballpark a little roomier, a little cleaner, and a little more comfortable. (Indeed, we believe you join us in expressing gratitude to the unsung heroes who work day and night as ushers, ticket takers, vendors, security, and the clean-up crew. They play key roles in your experiences at Fenway.) We have translated your support into outreach throughout New England that, we hope, helps all citizens know how welcome they are at Fenway and in the Nation. And we have translated that support into active participation in the community. We hope that the Red Sox, and the Red Sox Foundation, are dynamic forces of good will that have touched your communities in positive ways. We feel your loyalty. We feel your enthusiasm. We feel your passion. Every day. So once more, as stewards of this great franchise, and on behalf of our entire partnership, we say, thank you, and keep the faith. Sincerely, John W. Henry Tom Werner Larry Lucchino Principal Owner Chairman President/CEO 2004 RED SOX DIVISION SERIES MAGAZINE The 162-game major league season will test a teai character. The Red Sox of 2004 showed plenty of it punching their postseason ticket for the second straight ye For starters, despite winning 15 of its first 21 games, they were with¬ out two projected position players for the first third of the year. Then there was a .500 record for the better part of three months. And then, the club traded a franchise icon to reshape and redirect the team for the pennant drive. Simply put, the only constant for the Red Sox in 2004 was change. But it was the ability to cope with change that ultimately allowed Boston to advance to the eight-team playoff field. The Red Sox showed the promise of a memorable season in April. Facing their archrival, Boston managed to take three of four from the Yankees in the annual four-game Patriots Day weekend set at Fenway Park. The final game stood as a calling card for the early portion of the sea¬ son, as the Sox overcame an early 4-1 deficit against Kevin Brown by scor¬ ing once in each of the final four at-bats to claim a 5-4 victory. Standing 9-6 going into its first series at Yankee Stadium since losing last season’s American League Championship Series in heartbreaking fashion, the Red Sox came out on fire. Behind a 12-hit attack, highlighted by a five-run fourth inning, Boston pounded Jose Contreras and New York, 11-2 in the opener on April 23. The next day the Red Sox showed some resiliency, losing a one- run lead in the bottom of the seventh only to come back and score in the 12th to take a 3-2 victory. The Red Sox capped off their successful weekend in the Big Apple with a classic pitching performance by Pedro Martinez. The Sox ace right¬ hander got only two runs of support - coming on Manny Ramirez’s two- run homer in the fourth - but Martinez made it hold up, limiting the Yankees to four hits while striking out seven over seven scoreless innings. Scott Williamson pitched the final two innings for what would be his only Pedro Martinez save of the season in Boston’s 2-0 win. MM < IIMM mjm k ^ I • 2004 RED SOX DIVISION SERIES MAGAZINE Rookie.
