Reading Red Sox

Reading Red Sox

The Reading Red Sox are a defunct minor league baseball affiliate of the Boston Red Sox baseball franchise.

The ball club was based in Reading, Pennsylvania, and played in the Class A New York-Pennsylvania League (1933-34) and its successor league, the Class AA Eastern League (1963-64). During the latter period, the manager was Eddie Popowski and the team featured such star players as veteran former Red Sox slugger Dick Gernert, a Reading native, and prospects Tony Horton, Joe Foy and Reggie Smith.

In 1965, Boston moved its AA affiliate to Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and the Cleveland Indians re-established a farm club in Reading, where the Indians had a successful affiliate during the late 1940s and early 1950s. Since 1967, the Philadelphia Phillies have based their AA affiliate in the city; it led the Eastern League in attendance in 2006.
