[edit] Notes
- ^ Owner Tom Yawkey abolished the position of general manager after the 1960 season; executive vice president Dick O'Connell, the team's business manager, is listed by the 2007 Red Sox Media Guide as the team's GM-without-portfolio during 1961-62. However, the New York Times reported on October 1, 1960, that manager Pinky Higgins would be responsible for all player personnel decisions for the Red Sox organization, effectively serving as the team's manager/general manager. Higgins was formally named GM after the 1962 season.
