Boston Red Sox, No. 41 Jim Corsi
This is an actual home uniform worn in the big leagues by Newton, Mass., native Jim Corsi, who pitched for his hometown Red Sox from 1997 to 1999. Corsi pitched 10 seasons in the big leagues and was a member of the 1989 World Series champion Oakland A’s. After his career ended, Corsi became the first former Red Sox player to play in the Oldtime Baseball Game, making appearances in 2002 and ’03.
Boston Red Sox, No. 3, Pete Frates
No uniform in the Oldtime Baseball Game offers more symbolism — and has seen more of the country — than the No. 3 Red Sox uniform that was unveiled in 2012. For it was in the 2012 Oldtime Baseball Game that former Boston College captain Pete Frates, who earlier that year had been diagnosed with ALS, wore this uniform when he made what would be his final appearance in a game before devoting the rest of his life to raising awareness and helping to find a cure for Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Frates was supposed to wear our No. 9 Ted Williams uniform that night, but in a surprise appearance before the game Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington presented him with a No. 3 Red Sox uniform — representing the number Pete had worn throughout his career, including his days at Boston College. Frates would go on to wear this shirt during the countless appearances he would make until he died on December 9, 2019.
