1932 Boston Red Sox season


The 1932 Boston Red Sox season was the 32nd season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox finished last in the eight-team American League with a record of 43 wins and 111 losses. The team's home field was Fenway Park.
The Red Sox initially played their Sunday home games at Braves Field this season, as had been the case since the team's 1929 season, due to Fenway being close to a house of worship. The team played a total of six home games at Braves Field during the 1932 season; an early-season Tuesday doubleheader against the New York Yankees, and four Sunday games. A new Massachusetts law was enacted in late May that allowed the team to play at Fenway on Sundays. The final game the Red Sox ever played at Braves Field was on May 29, 1932, when they lost the second game of a doubleheader to the Philadelphia Athletics. The Red Sox' first Sunday home game at Fenway was played on July 3, 1932, a 13–2 loss to the Yankees.
The team set franchise records for fewest wins, most losses, and lowest winning percentage in a season—these records still stand through the end of the 2019 season.
