Devers vs Foxx

[bosoxmal]

one interesting stat when comparing Foll, Manny and Aaron:

When you simply use AB's and RBI proficieny, Foxx is a shade better than Manny, but both were twuce as proficiebnt as Hank! Now what, compare on base men-on=nase totals for every game every lineup every ballpark? Not me! Or use totel runs scored? No. Aarondid not play on powerhouse teams, they were about pitching, pitching, and more pitching. But Jimmie;s years of 140 or more IBIs is startking.

Back to Devers. Anybody noticed he is not shy about turnint loose on thefirst pitch? Or, when 3-1? Contrary to what he Sox announcers preach, he is not satsified with a ground ball to 2nd bas. His swing isquick, hard and total. I love it!

I'm still going with Willie Mays from the right side and Ted from the left.

Rafael Devers was the only major leaguer with 100+ RBI and 100+ runs scored in both 2019 and 2021.

2019 (156 games):
32 HR, 115 RBI, 129 R

2021 (156 games):
38 HR, 113 RBI, 101 R

How about extending this guy?
