Editor’s note: NESN.com is teaming up with WhatIfSports.com to crown the greatest Red Sox team of all time with the “Red Sox Showdown for the Ages.” For more information on the 16-team tournament, click here.
The “Red Sox Showdown for the Ages” is only through two rounds, and the search for the best all-time Red Sox lineup has just begun.
Some of the most patient and disciplined hitters in Red Sox history have manned the hot corner. There’s Wade Boggs, who started his Hall of Fame career in Boston and won five batting titles on his way to hitting .338 in his decade with the Sox. Today, after hopping back across the infield, Kevin Youkilis is on his way to entering the discussion of the best to ever play the hot corner at Fenway. And if you go into the way-back machine, way, way back, you’ll find Jimmy Collins, who was the first best third baseman in Red Sox history.
