The 2012 Boston Red Sox season was the 112th in the team's history, and the 2012 season marked the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park. 2012 was Boston's first losing season since 1997, their first season with 90 or more losses since 1966, and their worst season since 1965. The Red Sox ended the season with a record of 69–93, finishing in last place in the American League East for the first time since 1992, and as the third worst team in the American League. The Red Sox opened 2012 away from Fenway, playing against the Detroit Tigers on Thursday, April 5, and closed the season on Wednesday, October 3 away from Fenway against the New York Yankees. 2012 marked the second season in a row where the Red Sox both opened and closed the season on the road. On the heels of a 2011 season that was mostly successful but had a very bad September that resulted in their elimination from playoff contention, the Red Sox struggled throughout their 2012 campaign under the new management of Bobby Valentine after Terry Francona was fired following the 2011 season. On Sunday, September 16, the Red Sox were mathematically eliminated from the playoff race. On Wednesday, September 19, the Boston Red Sox lost their 82nd regular season game, thus clinching their first losing season since 1997. On Sunday, September 30, a loss to the Orioles made the Red Sox hit the 90-loss mark, assuring them of their first season with 90 or more losses in 46 years. The next day, October 1, the Red Sox suffered their 91st loss of the season to the arch-rival Yankees; this is the most games the team has lost since their 1965 season, when they lost 100 games. On Thursday, October 4, a day after the Red Sox' final game of the season, manager Bobby Valentine, just ten months after being brought in to replace Terry Francona, was fired, with one year and two option years still remaining on his contract. ==Offseason== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2012 Boston Red Sox season」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
