Founded in 1901 as one of the American League's eight charter franchises, the Red Sox's home ballpark has been Fenway Park since 1912. The "Red Sox" name was chosen by the team owner, John I. Taylor, around 1908, following previous Boston teams that had been known as the "Red Stockings". They played in eleven World Series, third most of any team remaining in one city, after the New York Yankees and the Saint Louis Cardinals. They won seven of these, also third most of any team remaining in one city, again after the New York Yankees and Saint Louis Cardinals.
