I don't know when Channel 3 carried the Red Sox, but they did not carry them by 1968 when I moved to Connecticut.  Channel 22 had them then, and for years after.

In 1968, the Red Sox were on Channel 8.  I don't know for how many years they had the Sox.  They changed to the Mets in 1970.  Channel 40 carried the Mets for a while too.

So I don't know if Channels 3 and 22 carried the Red Sox at the same time.  I doubt it.
