All-Time Red Sox Team
|
During the 2001 season, the Red Sox looked back on and celebrated the first 100 years of Red Sox baseball, and RedSoxDiehard.com joined in the fun.
You voted for two players from each position to select an all-time Red Sox team, and the results are in. (I added three "honorary picks" from the runners-up, to make a 25-man squad.)
