Sox Historical Stats

www.baseball-reference.com is slick! I know I'm probably stating something most of you already know but I can spend hours tooling around the site.

Here is the link to the Red Sox historical batting stats - stats accumulated while in a Red Sox uniform only of course

http://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/BOS/bat.shtml.

Best part is that it is sortable by clicking on the column headers.

Fun Facts:

Prior to this season when the likes of Beltre, Scutaro, Cameron, and Lackey even will take a place in the batter's box with a Sox jersey on - 1309 players (including pitchers) have take at least 1 plate appearance from the immortal Shawn Wooten in 2005 to the Yaz's 13991 PAs that will probably never be topped.

Top 10 OPS+ (minimum 3000 PAs)

1. Teddy Ballgame - 191

2. Speaker - 166

3. Jimmie Foxx - 156

4. Man-Ram - 155

5. Ortiz - 145

6. Boggs - 142

T7. Lynn - 140

T7. Vaughn - 140

9. Nomah - 133

10. Buck Freeman - 130

Teddy Ballgame

I stated this before but I can’t get enough of repeating it:
Career batting average: .344
Career BABIP: .328 (!!!!!!)
Oh…and that 2021/709 BB/K is IMPRESSIVE (What a lazy P***k!)

about the BB/K of TW compared to the rest of the league

Ridiculous is an understatement:

And he missed three seasons in his prime

because he was serving in the war (1943, ’44, ’45). Phenomenal player.

Sluggish Sox

To show you how unimportant the stolen base has been the Red Sox historically…

The stolen base leader for the Sox all-time is Harry Hooper with 300….but Ellsbury is already 7th with 129 and will most likely be 3rd by the end of the 2010 season behind Hooper and Speaker (267).
