Boston Red Sox 1960 7th Place finish in the then 8-team, one division American League

What happened to the Boston Red Sox during the opening years of the 1960s was, for Fenway fans anyway, a bitter reminder of unsuccessful attempts to move above .500 ball. The 1960 team was loaded with aging offensive veterans and untried young pitchers and it showed its incompetence. Seven straight below .500 seasons brought no joy to loyal Red Sox fans – 1960-1966. The Boston Red Sox 1960 won 65 lost 89. The pitching staff registered the worst earned run average in the major leagues, 4.62. And to add to ‘no joy’ - 1960 was left-fielder Ted Williams’ final season.

All-star, right-hander Bill Monbouquette paced the Sox pitching staff with a solid 14-11 w/l record and a 3.64 ERA. Veteran starting pitcher now a reliever Mike Fornieles was 10-5 with a nice 2.64 ERA in 70 gamers, with 14 saves.

A career .344 hitter Ted Williams hit .316 with 29 homers in 113 games in this his final year.
