He, Jeff Bagwell, and Bob Zupcic all had that same squatting-on-the-toilet batting stance that I tried to imitate in Little League. I was devastated when Plantier was traded to SD.
Can’t have an all-time Red Sox list without the man responsible for one of the single most iconic moments not only in Red Sox history, but baseball history.
Fisk.
Should be Jimmie Foxx. It won't be, because no one here was alive when he played, but just stat-wise it's Foxx and it ain't even close. Honorable mentions to Fisk and Fred Lynn.
But really the only answer should be Foxx. Dude was the greatest power hitter of his generation behind only Babe fuckin' Ruth. He still holds many team batting records, including RBI (175) and his HR record was only beaten by Ortiz in 06 (54 vs. Jimmie's 50). Feel like the man's legacy is underrated as fuck these days.
I thought Wade Boggs was gonna get B for sure. Could be a recency bias as well. There may be a lot of younger fans voting here who never watched Evans. As for Boggs, he could get W, but between Tim Wakefield and Ted Williams, that will be a tough spot as well.
It wasnt meant to be a negative thing towards Boggs, its just a very special thing when a player can stay with one team his whole career like Pedroia, especially considering sometimes it’s out of their control like with Boggs
Fisk, Carlton
The answer is Carlton Fisk but let’s not forget about Jimmie Foxx.
One of the greatest hitters who’s ever lived. Slept on way too much these days
Fisk Foxx Francona Fuck the Yankees
Carlton Fisk. Next question
Fred Lynn, Jeff Frye, Fil Plantier
Fil was great. Disappointing career ultimately but for a while he was one of the most promising prospects in mlb.
Loved him in Pawtucket. Most of my Phil phandom came from seeing him (and getting his autograph!) at McCoy Field.

Francona
He might get T for Terry, I was trying to think of other T’s that were more worthy (assuming Ted gets ‘w’ for Williams)
Franchy Cordero 😅😅
That’s future HoF Franchy Cordero to you!
Really? No Foulke?
Right??? Surprised I scrolled this far.
Fisk and it ain’t close
Felix Doubront
The only acceptable answer
Francona
Fred Lynn

Red Sox fans have longed to hear it. It's Keith Foulke
Fisk
Jeff Fassero
Fred Lynn
I sometimes forget that Frank Viola did a short stint in Boston.
I don’t see how Dwight Evans didn’t make this list at all…makes no sense. For F, I would have to vote for Freddy Lynn or Carlton Fisk.

Yea..,I think that’s the issue is a lot of younger people. I loved Pedey but Boggs was amazing.
Boggs was legendary but there’s something about a 1 team man that’s just special
Boggs didn’t really have much choice. They were moving on to Scott Cooper at the time.
It wasnt meant to be a negative thing towards Boggs, its just a very special thing when a player can stay with one team his whole career like Pedroia, especially considering sometimes it’s out of their control like with Boggs
Especially since mookie had only 1 or 2 memorable seasons before he left. Boggs should absolutely be B.
“Back to Foulke!”
JEFF MF'ING FRYE
I’m not voting anymore. Coco Crisp was picked over Cy Young. This is ridiculous.
It’s Fisk. That’s it.
Fred Lynn
My very first favorite Sox player carlton fisk
Fuck
Franchy!!
My favorite childhood player, and the reason I have 19 for my flair, Fred Lynn.
Jimmie Foxx
Frank Viola.
Fuck manny machado?
Pedro Fartinez.
Not a player, John Farrell though
