The Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox, or Y-D Red Sox, is a collegiate summer baseball team based in South Yarmouth, Massachusetts. The team is a member of the Cape Cod Baseball League and plays in the league's Eastern Division. The Red Sox play their home games at Red Wilson Field on the campus of Dennis-Yarmouth Regional High School in South Yarmouth.
The Red Sox most recently won the Cape Cod Baseball League championship in 2016 when they defeated the Falmouth Commodores two games to one to win the best of three series. Y-D also won league titles in 2004, 2006, 2007, 2014, and 2015, and has made the playoffs 10 times since 2000.
The team is currently led by Cypress College head coach Scott Pickler. He has been with the team since 1998.
Baseball in the towns of Yarmouth and Dennis dates back to the early days of the Cape League. The Yarmouth Indians won the Cape League title in 1958 after beating Sagamore in the championship series four games to three. The Indians won the series again in 1960, just three years before the beginning of the Modern Era.
Yarmouth's first appearance in the league championship series in the Modern Era came in 1973, despite the team posting a losing record in the regular season. Yarmouth beat the regular-season champion Chatham Athletics before losing to the Cotuit Kettleers in the championship series in five games.
The team's next appearance came four years later, in 1977 after again beating Chatham in the semi-finals. The now Yarmouth–Dennis Red Sox would once again fall to Cotuit in the championship series three games to two.
Y-D would not return to the championship series until 1987. Despite losing the championship series to the Harwich Mariners that year, the 1987 season marked the beginning of a four-year stretch in which the Red Sox would make the playoffs every season until 1990. During this span, Y-D would win three consecutive Eastern Division titles between 1988 and 1990 and would finally earn their first league championship in 1989 by sweeping the Hyannis Mets in two games. The Red Sox would repeat this feat a year later, knocking out the Wareham Gatemen two games to one in the championship series.
