If you are looking for the "A". Look at these links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackletter: Blackletter, also known as Gothic script or Gothic minuscule, was a script used throughout Western Europe from approximately 1150 to 1500. It continued to be used for the German language until the twentieth century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Gebrochene_Schriften.png If not mistaken, Textur is specific script you want, take a look under the Textur column at the capital A.

The Boston Red Sox write their logo in a font / typeface that they haven't changed in a really long time. I have tried to find out the exact font, too, but haven't been able to.
However, there are a lot of talented font designers who have created Boston Red Sox font sets that come really close, and would be great for any Red Sox fan project.
