The by|1982 Boston Red Sox season was a season in American baseball. It involved the Red Sox finishing 3rd in the American League East with a record of 89 wins and 73 losses.

Regular season: 64 Years and Counting

In his second year as Red Sox manager, Ralph Houk kept the Sox clubhouse on an even kee, and while Boston helped make the season interesting, it was the Milwaukee Brewers all the way finishing at 95-67, one game ahead of the Baltimore Orioles, and six up on third-place Boston. The Brewers would beat the California Angels in the 1982 American League Championship Series and then lose to the St. Louis Cardinals in the 1982 World Series.

Boston's best that year was a bullpen featuring Mark Clear, with 14 wins and 14 saves, and Bob Stanley, with 12 wins and 14 saves. John Tudor, who had been a disappointing 4-3 in 1981, was 13-10. Dennis Eckersley was 13-13 and Mike Torrez 9-9. He would soon be gone.

Hitters and Rising Stars

Carney Lansford hit .301 that year, only his second, and his last as a Red Sox. Jim Rice hit .309, with 24 homers and 97 RBIs, and Dwight Evans had another big year: .292, 32 homers and 98 RBIs. Carl Yastrzemski, heading toward the end of his career, hit .275, with 16 homers and 72 RBIs. A catcher named Rich Gedman from Worcester, Massachusetts, hit .249. A rookie also came up and surprised a lot of people: Wade Boggs had been the top hitter in the minors the previous year but had a hard time staying with Boston. He made his major league debut on April 10, 1982, in a game versus the Baltimore Orioles. He had 4 At-Bats and 0 hits.
