The Hall of Fame career of Tris Speaker began in Boston, where he debuted in 1907.  Entrenched as their starting Centerfielder in 1909, Speaker developed into one of the most outstanding players in his role.  He batted .309, and from then on as a member of the Red Sox, and he would continue to reach that mark, hitting as high as .383 in 1912.  In 1910, Speaker would produce an On Base Percentage of .404, and he would never have a season after that with an OBP under .400 with Boston.  He won the OBP Title in 1912 with a stat of .464, and would also lead the American League in Doubles (53), Home Runs (10), and would be named the MVP.  Speaker would lead Boston to a World Series Championship in both 1912 and 1915.

Playing all but his final season with the Boston Red Sox, Dwight Evans might have been one of the most underrated players of all-time. 

There will be a question one day as to just who is the greatest Designated Hitter of all time.  For many, there is no question, as it is David Ortiz.

The Montreal Expos were a small market team, and as quickly as they developed stars, they were always poised to lose them.  Pedro Martinez won the National League Cy Young Award in 1997, but he was due to be free agent, so the Expos did what they always did.  They traded him for parts.  The Red Sox were the recipients of the deal, and not only did he pick up where he left off, but he also got even better.
