  • Who Are the 25 Greatest Red Sox of All Time?
    Comments Subscribe Members Starting at 99 cents Sign In BOB RYAN Who are the 25 greatest Red Sox of all time? STAN GROSSFELD/GLOBE STAFF David Ortiz joins the Babe as three­time Red Sox World Series winners. By Bob Ryan GLOBE CORRESPONDENT NOVEMBER 03, 2013 Now that David Ortiz has become the most-decorated Red Sox player of the 21st century, and now that his transcendent World Series performance has enhanced his Hall of Fame résumé, a question arises: Where does Big Papi rank in the pantheon of all-time Red Sox greats? Here’s what I’m thinking: 25. Smoky Joe Wood, RHP (1908­15) A must, if only because of 1912, when he went 34-5 with a 1.91 ERA with 10 shutouts, before winning three games in the World Series. He was 117- 56 with the Sox, before his arm went dead and he reinvented himself as a Cleveland outfielder. I’ve always thought if I could be any 20th century athlete at any point in time it would be the 22-year-old Smoky Joe Wood in 1912. 24. Mel Parnell, LHP (1947­56) 123-75 (.621) with a pair of 20-win seasons, including a dazzling 25-7, 2.77 showing in 1949. A Sox lifer and later a Sox broadcaster. Threw a no- no on July 14, 1956. 23. Dwight Evans, RF (1972­90) Owned right field, as everyone knows (eight Gold Gloves), but he also banged out 2,446 hits and finished with a career OPS of .840, four times posting an OPS over .900.

Valentine agreed to terms on a two-year contract with club options for 2014 and 2015. No further terms were disclosed. The announcement was made by Executive Vice President/General Manager Ben Cherington. “We are thrilled to welcome Bobby as the manager of the Red Sox, and I’m eager to begin working closely with him in our preparations for the 2012 season,” said Cherington. “He is one of the brightest baseball minds I have encountered, with a wealth of experience in the game, an unmatched passion for winning and a proven track record of success in demanding environments. In Bobby, we have the right man to lead the Red Sox.” A veteran of more than 40 years in professional baseball, Valentine has previously served parts of 15 seasons as a Major League manager with the Texas Rangers (1985-92) and New York Mets (1996-2002), compiling a 1,117-1,072 (.510) record. He ranks fourth among active managers in games and fifth in wins. The Stamford, CT native becomes the sixth Red Sox manager born in New England and the second from Connecticut, joining Meriden’s Jack Barry, who managed the club in 1917.

  • Jimmy Collins: a Baseball Biography by Charlie Bevis (Review)
    Jimmy Collins: A Baseball Biography by Charlie Bevis (review) Ron Kates NINE: A Journal of Baseball History and Culture, Volume 21, Number 2, Spring 2013, pp. 154-156 (Review) Published by University of Nebraska Press DOI: https://doi.org/10.1353/nin.2013.0024 For additional information about this article https://muse.jhu.edu/article/520263 [ This content has been declared free to read by the pubisher during the COVID-19 pandemic. ] 154 nine vol. 21.2 are reasons to laugh with, and at, the absurdity of grown men with painted stomachs. Somewhere along the line, the Yankees became synonymous with Steinbrenner, with the hyperreality of excess, with the money and power and win- at- all- costs attitude, rather than with the people who fill the cheap seats. Leitch reminds the reader that it isn’t that simple. Rob Fleder brings his years of editorial experience with Sports Illustrated to bear in Damn Yankees as he weaves the varied submissions into a narra- tive that evokes the entire emotional spectrum. The humorous tone is often supplanted by the sonorous facts of life: the passing of legends, the fears of uncertain times, the mistakes that yield friendships. There will always be new ways for people to find fault with the Yankees or with the inequitable system that has, at times, seemed to favor the large- market teams. There will always be something to be said about a city, a team, or a player with which people will take issue. Ultimately, this is where Fleder’s collection is most success- ful. Worthwhile reading for any fan, Damn Yankees succeeds in finding the ground between a celebration and a critique, all the while making accessible the bright lights, the big city, and the stories behind the pinstripes.
