Editor’s note: Fenway Park opened on April 20, 1912. NESN.com will be celebrating Fenway’s 100-year anniversary with unique content from now until April 20, 2012.
Despite a new owner and increased turnout from fans at Fenway Park, the Red Sox hardly showed any improvement on the field in 1924.
With new owner Bob Quinn at the helm for his first full season, Boston fans showed a renewed interest in their baseball club, and attendance spiked considerably.
Unfortunately for the Sox, more fans did not equal more wins. The team finished 67-87, only a six win improvement from the 1923 season. Boston finished seventh in the American League standings, a full 25 games behind the eventual World Series champion Washington Senators.
Once again, Fenway would be used throughout the year for non-Red Sox events, including amateur football and baseball.
