What do Rube Walberg, Mike Nagy, Kevin Millar, and Dustin Pedroia all
have in common? They have all worn #15 for the Boston Red Sox. Since
1931, the Red Sox have issued 74 different numbers to more than 1,500
players.
In this newly updated edition, Red Sox by the Numbers tells the story
of every Red Sox player since '31--from Bill Sweeney (the first Red Sox
player to don #1) to J.T. Snow (#84, the highest-numbered non-coach in
Sox history). Each chapter also features a fascinating sidebar that
reveals obscure players who wore certain numbers and also which numbers
produced the most wins, home runs, and stolen bases in club history.
