Template:Short description Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox baseball team season The 1964 Boston Red Sox season was the 64th season in the franchise's Major League Baseball history. The Red Sox finished eighth in the American League (AL) with a record of 72 wins and 90 losses, 27 games behind the AL champion New York Yankees. The Red Sox attracted 883,276 fans to Fenway Park, fifth in the Junior Circuit and 11th in MLB, reflecting a six percent turnstile decline from 1963.[1]

Former Boston infielder Johnny Pesky, in his second season as manager, led the team to a 70–90 mark before he was dismissed on October 1. Third-base coach Billy Herman, 55, succeeded Pesky; he signed a two-year contract and directed the Red Sox to two victories in the season's final two games.[2]

Offseason

  • October 14, 1963: The Red Sox release veteran right-hander Bob Turley and appoint him their pitching coach for 1964, replacing Harry Dorish. Earlier in October, the Red Sox had released infielder Billy Gardner (October 2) and left-hander Chet Nichols Jr. (October 4).[3]
  • February 4, 1964: Third baseman Carmen Fanzone is signed as an amateur free agent by the Red Sox.[4]
  • Prior to 1964 season: Outfielder Bobby Gene Smith is released by the Red Sox.[5]
