    Thanks for correcting that. I should have just stuck to the original question. I blame Vegas for all the confusion.
  2. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The number is 20, I just guessed that they were all HOF'r's.
  3. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Just try to sneak anything past Notin. I dare you.
  4. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, the #89 is the only number from 0-99 to never have been worn in MLB.
  5. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Btw, I thought you would at least argue about my top five SOX hitters.
  6. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Good point, but the number I'm referring to was worn by a 11 different HOF players.
  7. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Trivia time: What is the most retired number in MLB?
  8. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    The HOF thing is arguable, but his 19 very good years with the SOX should qualify to have, at least, his number retired. It's inexcusable that it hasn't happened yet.
  9. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    No one has ventured a top 5 so I'll post my top 5: Williams Foxx Manny Big Papi Rice Leaving off Yaz, Boggs,Nomar and Speaker reflects the great hitters the SOX were blessed with over the years. And yes, Dewey was a damn good hitter and the best defensive RF I ever saw.

    It's difficult to compare different eras of baseball, but from an offensive stats view, Tris leaves one of my all-time favorite SOX players in the dust.
  11. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    No doubt. His offensive stats were amazing. For example, in 1938 as a member of the SOX Jimmie hit 50 HR's, drove in 175 runs and scored 139 runs. His slugging % was .704; his OPS was 1.166, his OPS+ was 183, and his BA was .349.

    I knew I'd leave somebody off. Good catch.

    The Rays are doing what teams have been told to do what seems forever; win at home and play .500 on the road. Btw, I'm watching the Angels/Astros game and they brought up the Astros' Mount Rushmore of hitters and it got me to thinking who were the 5 best hitters in SOX history? My list of hitters who could qualify for the top 5 are as follows: Ted Williams Jimmie Foxx Jim Rice Nomar Yaz Manny Big Papi Boggs So there's 8. I'm sure Teddy Ballgame will be on everyone's top 5, so who do you pick as the next 4?
  16. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I'll drink to that.
  17. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    "Sort of' is correct.
  18. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Dick 'the monster' Radatz wasn't too shabby, but, sadly, he was on some terrible SOX teams.
  19. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    I doubt any MLB team can match that at any position.
  20. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Kenley doesn't come close to making me nervous as much as Kimbrel did. Now Koji, you'd go to the fridge to get a beer and when you came back, the 9th was over.
  21. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    When it was 4-0, I was hoping for a rainout. Fortunately, Mother nature had more faith in the SOX than I did.
  22. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Speaking of LF at Fenway, from 1939-1989 the SOX had 3 left fielders.
  23. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Kenley was paid the bucks to be the closer and that's what he'll do. Martin was paid the bucks to be the set-up guy and that's what he'll do. Baseball's such a simple game.
  24. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Dugo, imho, should definitely be extended, asap. He plays a very good RF, he's got a good arm and he can hit. What's not too like?
  25. SPLENDIDSPLINTER
    Dugo's also a pretty good hitter.
