Favorite Red Sox Player?
This thread is for everyone to post your favorite Red Sox player for any of the past years of Baseball. You may also post about this years team. Do they have what it takes to win the World Series again?
- My Favorite Player -
Jacoby Ellesbury;
He is a semi-new player to the Red Sox. He was pulled up from the Pawtucket team last year to play Center Field. Since then he has done some wonderful things for the Red Sox. With his speed on the bases we've seen him do many things. He has many stolen bases in this past year. The most amazing thing that I've seen him do is steal Home Plate.
Your turn.

Ditto. One the consumate professional, the other you just have to love his zest for life and putting baseball in perspective....

Tony Conigliaro. If he didn't get beaned, he would have been a lock for 600 HR and a spot in Cooperstown.
He was the youngest player ever to reach 100 HR.

Yes he was another on my short list. I still have the Sports Illustrated with the nasty picture of him on the cover. What a shame.

I loved the way Fred Lynn played center field. He would crash into the wall and even manage to get up a few times.
But I have to go with Dwight Evans. He had a hell of an arm in his day and he's the epitomy of what a professional ball player should be. As a kid I had a glove with Dewey's signature so I'm kind of biased!

This is the most professional team with respect to makeup I've seen the Red Sox field. Current....I really can't pick between Youk, Pedroia...I love those grinding 10+ pitch at bats that wear down the opposition. That's what they did last night to Philly - they made the game about depth in the bullpen. Dwight Evans is my favorite all time player.

Dewey, Rice, Lynn, Pudge, Rooster, Rico, Boomer, El Tiante', Spaceman, Eck,.......my favorite all-time player was Yaz! I caught him late in his career but his work ethic was something to aspire to and his skills were not "God Given"......he worked his ass off to become the ballplayer he was! I watched him alot growing up since about 74'. His last season I saw his last opening day, his last 3 games and was front row visitors side on deck circle for Yaz Day ceremonies. 5 years later I was in Cooperstown for his induction ceremony along with Johnny Bench, Harry Carey, Red Scheondist and Al Barlick. It was a great day! Just a huge Yaz fan! They don't build them like that anymore.......though Pedroia is darn close!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Even though I'm from The Bronx & a YANKEE FAN.
I really enjoyed watching Dwight Evans gun runners down from right field.
Jim Rice, I can not believe he is not in the hall yet.

You think I was going to root for the Mets 
You guys are the misguide souls. You only have one team.
In New York we have two teams for every sport. |

For a long time I felt like the misguided soul but our fortunes finally changed a little. All you need is one team per sport. Less flip flopping. Get behind them for life. Besides if it weren't for the giants you may need to get 3 teams per sport.

He was (in my best Boston accent) wicked strong. 
True story - I once saw him drive the green on a par 5 and putt for double eagle. He missed the putt, but still eagled the hole. |

Here's my one "true story" involving Jim Rice.
I had gone to a game with my girlfiriend and the Sox were down by a run with 2 out in the ninth, and Rice was up. He wasn't hitting like the Rice of old, but he could still produce on occaision.
Now bear with me - Coors Beer used to have a commercial during the late 80's that showed in one scene a couple leaving a ballgame (similar to the bleachers) and turning around when they hear the crowd roar.
My girl and I decided to leave because we didn't think Rice was going to do anything, since he had had one of those kinds of games, and as we were walking down the stairwell from the centerfield bleachers we heard the crack of the bat, the roar of the crowd and we, too, turned around and went back to our seats. Rice had tied the game with a solo homer, and the sox went on to win the game.
That's one of my most memorable times at Fenway.
Another was when we tossed Bob Stanley an ice cream bar (during a really hot day). We were sitting in dead-center field, first row, so we could see into the bullpen. We got his attention and asked if he would like something cold, and ice cream it was!
Oh, the good old days at Fenway, when every year was "The Year" they were going to go all the way.

LOL. Good for you. Me too Irish. That is a curse in itself. I would expect you couldn't root for the Knicks as they have been in such a shambles for many a year. Such a shame for the mecca of round ball to have such a non competitive team. Kind of like when I was a Pats fan and we were the door mat of the league and thus I became a part time fan of the Cowboys in late 60's. Still like them but I will always root for the home team no matter how awful they are and they haven't been very awful in the last decade, except letting the Giants win one  |
