In honor of Fred Lynn...

... the first player to ever win the MVP and Rookie of the Year in the same year

... who in his 6 full seasons in Boston was an MVP candidate 4 times.

... along with Jim Rice was the most devastating 1-2 punch in baseball

... who was dealt away to the Angels for Joe Rudi, Frank Tanana and Jim Dorsey, one of the worst trades in Red Sox history

... who was never the same player after the trade, but did win the 1982 ALCS MVP for California despite playing on the losing team

THE MAGIC NUMBER IS 19!
