The Red Sox played their Sunday home games at Braves Field this season, as had been the case since the team's 1929 season, due to Fenway being close to a house of worship. The team played a total of 20 home games at Braves Field during the 1930 season; 16 games on Sundays, plus two non-Sunday doubleheaders.[1]
