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.[1] A new Massachusetts law was enacted in late May that allowed the team to play at Fenway on Sundays.[2] 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.[3] The Red Sox' first Sunday home game at Fenway was played on July 3, 1932, a 13–2 loss to the Yankees.[4]
The 1932 team set a franchise record for the lowest winning percentage in a season, .279, which still stands.[5] The team allowed 915 runs while only scoring 566, a run differential of -349, the worst in MLB's modern era (since 1900).[6]
