The Boston Masons are an American professional baseball franchise based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are in the North American Baseball Association's American League. The Masons were the product of Boston losing both their teams by the beginning of the 1930s; the city went into outrage towards the league's alleged mistreatment of their city, which many call the Boston Winter. The league launched the 1936 Expansion to combat the criticism and ease negative attention towards the commissioner's office. The Masons are sometimes known as The Winter, a reference to this point in time.

The Masons have only been to the playoffs twice in their history, both under Golden Pennants. They have never won the American League. Despite this, however, they won a championship in 1954, though went on a half-century long playoff drought immediately afterwards.
