Jimmie Foxx: 1936-1942
Jimmie Foxx was already a seasoned ballplayer when Athletics owner Connie Mack traded him to Boston from Philadelphia and he provided an immediate impact for the Red Sox offense, hitting 41 home runs in his first season with the club while driving home 143 runs and batting .338. Two years later in 1938, "Double X" enjoyed his best season with Boston, clubbing 50 home runs - a team record that stood until 2006 when David Ortiz smacked 54 - and posting 175 RBI - still a single-season record for the franchise - while batting .349. If not for "Hammerin' Hank" Greenberg of Detroit hitting 58 home runs that season, the burly first baseman would have had his second career Triple Crown, but his efforts did reward him with American League MVP honors for a third time. Despite just six-plus seasons with the club, his ability to hit for both average and power put many of his offensive totals with Boston amongst the top ten in several categories, including batting average, on-base and slugging percentages, walks, runs scored, home runs, and RBI.... more on Jimmie Foxx

Manual Scoreboard
At the base of the Green Monster in left field sits one of the few remaining manual scoreboards used at a major league stadium. Working in conditions that are not exactly pleasant - hot summer days are even hotter inside the wall, according to those who have experienced it - hidden operators toggle green and red light signals to show balls, strikes, and outs and use oversized, numbered panel boards to post runs scored each half-inning as well as run, hit, and error totals for each team. Out-of-town scores are also shown for both the American and National leagues, though updates are slow to appear during any given contest given greater concern for what's happening on the field in front of it. Despite the addition of several electronic message boards to the park in recent years, some which include information like pitch counts, player statistics, and other tidbits of information, its throwback charm still garners attention from the crowds at America's oldest ballpark... more on this feature.

Pedroia gets hot at the right time
05 September 2008 @ 12:00 AM EDT
Paul Byrd uttered the magic words this week. Not when he called Dustin Pedroia the MVP. No, it was when Byrd said, "As he goes, we go." That, especially on a star-laden team like the Red Sox, is the mark of a valuable player.
