The 1926 Boston Red Sox season was the 26th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox finished last in the eight-team American League (AL) with a record of 46 wins and 107 losses, games behind the New York Yankees.
After a home game at Fenway Park on May 8, 1926, a fire destroyed the third base bleachers. This was followed by a storm with severe winds on July 19, which destroyed 500 to 600 seats at the ballpark.[1]
