2022 Red Sox Media Guide - download as a PDF
- Thread starter TDFenway
- Start date
One joy of the media guide is creating trivia questions to stump your friends,
They list the Top 10 crowds since 1967 during the regular season and one opponent has 2 of the games. The obvious answer is New York but guess what, they don't crack the Top 10.
Chicago White Sox?????
Another thing I noticed - Yaz is no longer on the masthead
The media guide pays tribute to members of the Red Sox family who have passed in the past 12 months including Bob Neumeier but not Art Martone.

The "sellout streak" is always going to be funny to me since so many of those games, especially in the final few years of it, were nowhere near sold out.
Sone ask about those 1934-35 doubleheader attendances of over 45,000. How did it happen?
First of all, fire laws were more lax in those days. So if they oversold the bleachers, you can always fit a few extra rear ends in each row (and in the aisles).
Second, back then, bleachers and pavilion seats (a concept you don't see any more, common back then - unreserved grandstand seating) -- when someone left, they could resell his place. They would count those leaving after game 1 (or anytime) and then take someone else's money and let him in.
