Answer 2

The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts, and are the reigning (2007) World Series Champions. The Red Sox are a member and current champions of both Major League Baseball’s American League Eastern Division and of the American League itself. Since 1912, the Red Sox have made their home at Fenway Park.

The "Red Sox" name originates from the iconic uniform feature. They are sometimes nicknamed the BoSox, a combination of "Boston" and "Sox" (as opposed to the "ChiSox"), the Crimson Hose,[2] and the Olde Towne Team.

Answer 3

what kind of answer do you expect from this?

Answer 4

Actually it DOES mean the color of their socks or stockings as they were called in the golden age of Baseball

The Boston Red Sox entered the league in 1901 as the Somersets after the owner, Charles Somers. At various times were called the Puritans, Pilgrims and Plymouth Rocks. It was as the Pilgrims that they won the first-ever World Series between the American and National Leagues. In 1907 they became the Red Sox when the National League Boston team switched its stockings from red to white.

The Chicago White Sox began life in 1900 as the White Stockings and changed a year later to White Sox to prevent confusion with the old Chicago White Stockings in the National League.

Answer 5

Red Sox still wear red stirrups.  The White Sox originally didn't wear the stirrups, just the white socks.  Thus the names.

Answer 6

Answer 7

Hater

X is basically the "xss" sound

Answer 8

they do refer to there socks because theses are older teams and they used to be called the Red Stockings( Red Socks)  because thats what they used to wear early in their history same thing with the White Sox they used to be called the White Stockings and used to wear white socks

Answer 9

When baseball first started all the teams had the same color uniforms-white for home and grey for away.  This was cheaper.  So, to differentiate the teams, they got different colored socks for every team.  The Red Socks, had red and the White Socks had white.  That's how they got their names most of the time-Even if you don't realize it.  The Detroit Tigers had socks with black and orange stripes.  Get it, heh heh.  Kinda Cool huh?

Answer 10

The Red Sox.
