Remembering the Wigwam: Braves Field and Nickerson Field 

Yes

yes it is

Your professor was wrong. Before the Red Sox fire sale in 1919, they were the winningest team in all of baseball in the 20th century. World Series wins in 1903, 1912, 1915, 1916 & 1918. The Braves were a poor also ran most of that time, except for 1914...the Mirecle Braves.

@@TheBatugan77 During the 1920's and early 1930's the Red Sox were as bad if not worse than the Braves. Then Tom Yawkey bought them and began buying players from the cash strapped A's and Senators enabling the Red Sox to put together a team that always looked good on paper but underachieved on the field. It was only for about five years after WWII that the Red Sox actually did anything on the field but they were soon put back in their place by the Yankees and Indians. The Braves could have overtaken them had they stayed in Boston because they had a strong farm system and the beginnings of a good team which blossomed in Milwaukee.

Boston was a Red Sox town from the minute the American League was founded.

@@TheBatugan77 And the fact that the Red Sox had Ted Williams on their roster, Lou Perini used that as an excuse to leave, rather than rebuild the roster. Two or three years of rebuilding and the Bravos would have been contending, and maybe even outdrawing the Red Sox, but no, Perini chose to wave the white flag and ask the National League for permission to move instead of staying put. The St. Louis Browns and Philadelphia A's had legitimate reasons to move, Perini didn't.

Boston was National League. New England was American League.

Sure did. Saw 'em.

I suppose they could have played there instead of Fenway Park.
