The 1929 Boston Bulldogs season was their fifth and final season in the league and their only season after changing their name from the Pottsville Maroons. The team improved on their previous output of 2–8, winning four games. They finished fourth in the league.
Although the new Boston iteration of the franchise based it operations at Braves Field, the Bulldogs did not change ownership, still owned by Dr. J.G. Striegel of Pottsville, Pennsylvania. The team consequently hosted two games during the last week of October in their familiar stomping grounds, defeating both the Buffalo Bison and the Orange [NJ] Tornadoes at Pottsville's Minersville Park.
