Good morning.

Happy birthday, Jeff Reardon! #cardsky #dirtywater @redsox.com

Happy 33rd Birthday to Xander Bogaerts, who played 10 seasons with the Red Sox. His best yr was 2019, he hit .309, with 33 HR’s, 117 RBI’s, a .939 OPS and a 6.3 WAR. Overall with the Sox he hit .292 with 156 HR’s, a .814 OPS and a 34.6 WAR. He was a 4x AS and won the Silver Slugger 5x.

On this date in 1967, the man they call Yaz, Carl Yastrzemski, belts a three-run home run, his 44th, to push the Boston Red Sox past the Twins 6 - 4 and tie Minnesota for first place. How about that!

Now we go.

On the day of another Red Sox-Yankees series, Kirk Carapezza of @gbhnews.bsky.social looks back at baseball's greatest game, when Carlton Fisk hit a 12th-inning walkoff homer in Game 6 of the 1975 Series. Kirk talked @newyorker.com editor David Remnick into reading Roger Angell's classic account.

48 years ago today, Reggie Cleveland (Swift Current, Sask.) threw an 18-hit (!) complete game for the Red Sox in their 12-5 win over the Tigers. I haven't been able to find a report of his pitch count that game, but I believe it was around 170 pitches. 1/2

Masa Mash!

Happy birthday Kevin Millar! Boston Red Sox. Champion. Hero.

Happy 57th Birthday to Reggie Jefferson, who the Red Sox signed as a Free Agent in April 1995. Jefferson who struggled against lefties played almost exclusively against righties. In 5 seasons with the Sox he hit .316, which is 7th in Sox History, and had a .505 Slugging %, which is 11th.

Bernie Carbo in 1977, on a team loaded with Sluggers, was 2nd on the team in OPS, only behind Jim Rice. That yr in 86 Games, he hit .289, with 15 HR’s, a .409 OBP, and a .931 OPS. He played in parts of 5 seasons for the Sox, in 344 Games he hit .261, with 45 HR’s, a .388 OBP, and a .849 OPS.

On this date in 1975 Jim Rice is hit by a Vern Ruhle pitch, which breaks a bone in his hand, causing him to miss the rest of the regular season and all of the Postseason, and probably costing the Sox a WS Title. That year he hit .309 with 22 HR’s and a .841 OPS, finishing 2nd for ROY.

Amen 🙏🏾
