Bob Stanley played his entire career with the Boston Red Sox, where the Pitcher was the jack of all trades.

An original Boston American, Freddy Parent, jumped from Providence of the Eastern League and would become the starting Shortstop for the team.  Parent batted .306 as a rookie and would have another .300 season with Boston in 1903.  That season, he would help the Americans win the World Series.

Jacoby Ellsbury was a late 1^st Round pick of the 2005 Amateur Draft, and two years later he was an August call-up of the Red Sox.  He would take over at Centerfield for Boston and would help them win the World Series that year, where he batted .438.

When the American League formed in 1901, many players from the National League jumped to the upstart baseball organization.  This included Jimmy Collins, who was playing for the Boston Beaneaters and would leave to join the Boston Americans.  Collins would have a good start for the newer Boston team, batting at least .322 in his first two years, and in 1903, the Americans won the World Series defeating the Pittsburgh Pirates.
