On this date in 1960, Ted Williams hit the 500th home run of his career in the Red Sox's 3-1 win over the Indians.
At the time, he joined Babe Ruth (714), Jimmie Foxx (534) and Mel Ott (511) as the only members of the 500-home run club ⚾️
The Jarren Duran trade rumors are getting louder as the #RedSox potentially might trade him this season if they find the right offer.

News from @PeteAbe: Garrett Crochet told the Globe that his lat strain “is a lot worse than what we thought” and he has “no idea” when he might get cleared to throw.

The #RedSox are struggling in the friendly confines of Fenway Park in a manner that's rather unprecedented over nearly 100 years.

Remember: teams like the Dodgers, Yankees, and Rays all have huge/expanding scouting departments, while the Red Sox have dismantled theirs. If Breslow is allowed another trade deadline, which he is 2-2 in butchering, it'll be based on the input of, like, 3 people and a computer.
We’re going to call these teams the UNBIASED fan and tell them what to do for the sake of the #MLB sport’s entertainment, as they’re at a crossroads before the trade deadline.
We’re here on an advice hotline basis to fix the season. ⚾️☎️

The @RedSox celebrated the 125th anniversary of their first-ever home game by having all living alumni with retired numbers deliver a ceremonial first pitch 👏
On this date in 1915, Babe Ruth hit the first home run of his career, a third-inning solo shot off Yankees pitcher Jack Warhop.
It was the first of 714 career HRs for Ruth, who was still primarily known as a pitcher at the time. He hit just 4 home runs during the 1915 season, while going 18-8 on the mound with a 2.44 ERA for the Boston Red Sox.
