All-Time Red Sox Lineup

Carlton Fisk

Walter Iooss Jr./SI

As good as Jason Varitek is now, Fisk was better. In 1972 he was the AL's first unanimous Rookie of the Year after hitting .293 with a league-best nine triples. During his 11-year Boston career, he hit .284 with 162 home runs. The seven-time All-Star was voted into the Hall of Fame in 2000.

Jimmie Foxx

Corbis

"Double X" won the 1938 AL MVP as a member of the Red Sox, hitting 50 homers and driving in 175 runs. The Hall of Famer hit 222 of his 534 home runs and drove in 788 of his 1,922 RBIs while with Boston.

Doerr played all 14 of his seasons with Boston and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986. A key member of the 1946 AL champions, Doerr ranks in the top six in franchise history in 11 batting categories.

Wade Boggs

Chuck Solomon/SI

Boggs won all five of his batting titles with the Red Sox and is the only player in history with seven consecutive seasons of at least 200 hits and 100 runs. His .338 batting average ranks second in team history to Ted Williams' .344. Boggs was inducted into Cooperstown in 2005.

Nomar Garciaparra

Winslow Townson/SI

"Nomah" was a hitting machine as a youngster, winning back-to-back batting titles in 1999 and 2000. His .323 batting average ranks fourth best in team history.

Ted Williams

Hy Peskin/SI

The last man to bat .400 gets the nod over what may be the best crop of left fielders any franchise can boast: Carl Yastrzemski, Jim Rice and Manny Ramirez.

Tris Speaker

National Baseball Hall of Fame Library

Speaker spent his first nine seasons with the Red Sox, racking up 1,327 hits, 267 steals and a .337 batting average. In 1912 he posted three separate hitting streaks of at least 20 games. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1937, though with an Indians cap.

Dwight Evans

Chuck Solomon/SI

Evans' 2,505 games played ranks second in club history. From 1981 to '90, Evans hit the most home runs in the AL (251). He also won eight Gold Gloves during a vastly underrated career.

David Ortiz

Damian Strohmeyer/SI

Big Papi has only been with the Red Sox for three-plus seasons, but there is no doubting his contribution: 130 home runs through May 1, 2006, many of which have come in clutch situations.
