Opening Day starting pitcher Cy Young

The 1902 Boston Americans season was the second season for the professional baseball franchise that later became known as the Boston Red Sox. The Americans finished third in the American League (AL) with a record of 77 wins and 60 losses, Шаблон:Frac games behind the Philadelphia Athletics. The team was managed by Jimmy Collins and played its home games at Huntington Avenue Grounds.

Offseason and Spring Training

The Americans bolstered their pitching by recruiting Bill Dinneen, who jumped from the Boston Beaneaters. Dinneen and Cy Young would become the "one-two" pitching combination for the Boston Americans.

Prior to the regular season, the team held spring training in Augusta, Georgia.
