For sure thought Wade Boggs had it yesterday, but Mookie made a huge comeback in the vote tallies. Shout out to everyone who named Oil Can Boyd!
*For each letter of the alphabet, you may choose a player who was your favorite player, or one who was most memorable by their first or last name (or member of the organization). Bonus if you have a memory of that player or why that player is your favorite for that spot.
For example, if the letter is “M,” you could say “Kevin Millar” or “Mike Lowell.” Nicknames are also acceptable.
The player named with most upvotes in the post will be chosen for that spot.
Choose and vote carefully for your player. Once a player is used for a specific letter, he cannot be used twice, so if Ted Williams was chosen for T, he can't be used for W.
Winners so far
A: Bronson Arroyo (2003-2005)
B: Mookie Betts (2014-2019)

It ain’t Curt Schilling.
Carl Crawfords Crappy Contract.
That enough Cs? 😀
Dirt bag Curt is probably most memorable.

Christian Vasquez
Tony Conigliaro

I want to stuff him into the C slot to make the Q spot more interesting.
Carl Yastrzemski, although I feel like he should be used for Y

I mean, Roger Clemens. When I was a kid he was everything.
Cody Ross for that awesome freak out on Alfonso Marquez he had
Carl Crawford
SIIIIKE!!!!
Carl Yastrzemski, specifically because he deserves to be there, but we’re gonna need Y for Yooouuuuuk
Carl Yastrzemski is the only right answer. After that, Chris Sale and Christian Vazquez come to mind.
Crazy Carl Everett, and if you don’t vote for him you’re letting the dinosaurs win
Oh Captain, my Captain -> “C” Jason Varitek, who also played C
Carlton Fisk!!!
Gotta be Carlton Fisk for me. My grandmother had a framed picture of him – cut out of the newspaper lol – on the hutch in her kitchen when I was a kid. She’s the one who made me a Red Sox fan.
