  2. Ya know, you're probably right... if I'm putting Double X on the team, Cy Young should be there, too. I used Foxx because I couldn't find a replacement... his primary team is listed as the A's but he's wearing a Red Sox cap on his HOF plague so that's how I justified it. Cy and Rocket are tied in wins as a Red Stocking (franchise leaders)... maybe Pedro should be replaced by Rocket. Rocket makes my list- I know I'm in the minority among folks outside of Boston.

  5. You taking off Jim Rice?

    Personally, I'd take Rice and his Cooperstown shrine but I think that Papi might win that vote in Boston... Papi changed the attitude in Boston. He made them fearless and that's a big reason why they weren't afraid to come back down 0-3 (when they won the WS).
