1907 Boston Doves season
The 1907 Boston Doves season was the 37th season of the franchise. Before the season, longtime Boston Beaneaters owner Arthur Soden sold the team to the Dovey Brothers. The team quickly became known as the Boston Doves, named after the brothers. One bright spot during a 90-loss season came on May 8, when Big [Jeff Pfeffer] pitched a no-hitter in a 6–0 home win over the Cincinnati Reds.
