46 comments

1. Nomar

2. You nailed it, bud. Pedey is the last of the dirt dogs. What an absolute legend and I’ll startup the band:

   Fuck Machado.

3. YOUK

4. Wade Boggs, then Curt Schilling.

5. Jody Reed!!! I know, I’m old

6. Derek Lowe. Only jersey I’ve ever bought in any sport

7. 

8. Yaz and Rico Petrocelli and Bill “The Spaceman” Lee (Yeah I’m old)

9. Trot Nixon

10. Dewey Evans

11. Ellis Burks

12. If only he had 1 more prime year he would be a HOFer for sure. I hope he gets in, but I mostly doubt it. He needs to get his ass on MLB network which always boosts your odds.

13. Ted Williams

14. Trot Nixon and Mike Lowell. Lowell had a beautiful Green Monster swing

15. Clemens and then Pedro

16. Dwight Evans

17. David Ortiz

18. When I was 6 I went to my first game and Jack Clark hit a HR into the monster netting so I loved him for no other reason. Otherwise, Nomar and mo Vaughn

19. Fred Lynn

20. Youk and then I was thrilled when Peavy ended up here because he’d been one of my random faves for years.

21. Papi

22. Tek. I don’t even remember why, I just remember he was my favorite from the age of six onwards.

23. Yep. Lazer Show. I bought his jersey after we won the 2013 ALCS.

24. When I was little it was Clemens and Mo Vaughn. When I was a little older it was Nomar and Pedro.

25. Fred Lynn. He’s why I have 19 as my flair, and it’s still my favorite number. I was crushed when they traded him to the Angels. He hit the first grand slam in All Star Game history on my twelfth birthday.

26. Jim Rice

27. As a kid? Mo Vaughn.

    As a teenager/adult? Big Papi.

    I have a type.

28. Tim Wakefield

29. Nomaaa!!!
    But also fuck manny machado

30. #PEDRO

31. Mike Greenwell. If you’re ever in the Ft Myers area he has a restaurant 30ish mins outside of town. It’s good and he’s usually hanging around

32. Mo Vaughn and John Valentin.

33. Nomar then Ortiz.

34. Yaz

35. 45 always 45

36. It was Mo Vaughn for me, but when he left, it was Pedro.

37. I was a kid in the 70’s, early 80’s, so it’s Jim Rice.

    Jim Rice could hit the shit out of a baseball. For a time he was the most feared hitter in the game.

38. Manny

39. Rico Petrocelli

40. Wakefield 😔

41. That’s a tough one… Mo Vaughn, Ortiz, Wakefield, Manny… I can’t lol too many

42. Growing up: Ellis Burks

    All time: Pedro

    Active: Mookie

43. Jim Rice was a beast!

44. Tim Wakefield

45. Growing up it has to be Ortiz and Manny. They were just so much fun to watch.

46. the most dominant pitcher to play the game, Pedro.

    Why do none of these answers have flairs? 😂
