Did you know?
- While English team names are often treated as masculine in Spanish, the Red Sox are frequently referred to as las Medias Rojas, using a feminine article because media is a feminine noun.
- Spanish speakers often refer to the Red Sox as los Medias Rojas, completely translating the meaning rather than using the loanword Sox.
- Because Sox ends in a consonant sound uncommon in Spanish, some speakers naturally add a ghost vowel to the end, pronouncing it as Sox-eh.
