The Sox wore green in honor of Celtics legend Red Auerbach who passed away in October last year. Even though Red had no close ties to the Sox, management felt they should give tribute to a sports icon, and a Boston legend. They were originally going to wear the green unis (which are normally only worn on St. Patty's Day) on Thursday two weeks ago against the Mariners, but the game was rained out. It is also interesting to note that many Celtics legends were on hand, with Bob Cousy throwing out the first pitch!

On a night when the Red Sox honored the greatest team ever to represent this region (the 1957-86 Celtics), the Red Sox demonstrated some of the effort, teamwork, grit, and clutch play that made the Green famous.

They wore green to honor the late great Red Auerbach, who was the coach and GM of the Boston Celtics during their dynasty years of late 50's thru 60's.

To honor Boston Celtic patriach Red Auerbach, and I think that started their luck to sweep the Yankees.
