The
2007 season marks the 34th anniversary
of the New Britain Baseball Club. The
franchise originated in Bristol, CT as
the AA affiliate of the Boston Red
Sox. The Bristol Red Sox called Muzzy
Field home from 1973-1982 until
then-owner Joe Buzas relocated his
club to its current home in New
Britain’s Willowbrook Park. The club
remained a farm club of Boston’s
and, in fact, the New Britain Red Sox
won the 1983 Eastern League
Championship in their very first
season as tenants of brand new Beehive
Field. Led by rookie pitcher Roger
Clemens, New Britain defeated the Lynn
(MA) Pirates, three-games-to-one, in
collecting the franchise’s fourth
E.L. title (three in Bristol) up to
that point.
