I am trying to decide if Big Papi has just launched himself into the Red Sox stratosphere… The guy is chugging along in this messy series (and when I say chugging, I mean like a crazy old 10,000 pound steam engine rolling at full tilt – to the tune of a .727 BA, .750 OBP, 1.364 SLG. Yes, SLG. Yes, that is a 2.114 OPS)… But it appears to have been his impromptu motivational speech to the entire dugout that lit a fire on the team last night.
He’s already climbing the all-time Sox players list. I think his knack for timely hitting already has him in the top ten… If they go on to win this series, I might squeeze him into the top five…
And that includes
Ted Williams
Roger Clemens
Tris Speaker
Babe Ruth
Cy Young
Carl Yastrzemski
Jim Rice
Pedro Martinez
Nomar Garciaparra
Jimmie Foxx
Wade Boggs
Joe Wood
Dwight Evans
Luis Tiant
Bobby Doerr
