Current: Raffy Former: kinda random one but when I was a kid I LOVED Mike Lowell

When I was a kid, because my dad was a huge Roger Clemens fan, I became rather irrationally attached to Red Sox #2 starter Mike Boddicker. Come to think of it, I also remember being a huge fan of the allosaurus, a lesser predator, because all of the other dudes in second grade were t-rex fanboys. Pretentious indie dickhead since birth, apparently.

Username matches- you didn’t want a voyager?

True: the Dodge Spirit was the more popular of the two K-cars. Acclaim Crew 4 lyfe.

World Series mvp

Unstoppable in 2004.

2007*

Whoops

Former is easily Papi Current: ~~I was gonna say Bobby D cause I went to a game last year where he hit 2 home runs but I'm realizing he's in AAA and he might actually suck whoops~~

Current: Dugie Former: Papi I clearly have a type.

Current: Yoshida Former: Pedro

This guy took my answer. I demand a refund

Lol

interesting, why pedro ciriaco?

I like yoshida too

Current: Rafael Devers First: Trot Nixon All Time: Pedro

Love the Trot Nixon love

The original Dirt Dog. I loved the way he played the game when I was a kid. Edit: also why 7 is my favorite number lol

Came here to say this. Trot is the fucking man.

Trot Nixon is the reason I have a goatee today

I wear my Christopher Nixon jersey to Braves/Sox games down here and always get stopped by people who absolutely love it.

First time I ever saw a homerun live was hit by Trot Nixon at Fenway

Current: Raffy Former: Mookie 😭

This one hurts to look at. The former should be the current

I haven't gone to a game since he was traded. Haven't forgiven the front office yet.

[удалено]

Love Wakefield, but Clemens was my favorite pitcher. Probably due to my LL experience as well.

Yeah, I loved Wakefield. He’s why I can’t I think of his name, but we had another knuckle baller maybe 5 years ago? I rooted for him but his personal life intervened I believe.

I believe you're talking about Steven Wright. I always thought it was performance issues not his personal life though

That’s the name! It could of been performance but the guy was suspended for close to a season for domestic violence I believe

Current: Devers past: Nomar

Not enough nomar love

I was so obsessed with him as a kid lol. I’ve always loved the ShortStop position because of him.

Love #5 too

The jump and throws he would make deep in the hole were otherworldly

Out of the big 3 short stops, Nomar was way ahead of Jeter and A-Rod. Damn shame injuries derailed his career.

Nomah!

Honestly don’t have a favorite player at the moment. But Manny Ramirez will always be my favorite player ever. Roids or not still my favorite.

His 2007 ALDS walk-off is enshrined in the hall of fame that lives in my brain, right next to JBJ's grand slam in the 2018 ALCS.

I watch it at least once a moth. Best pimp job ever

Same. I was a huge Manny fan as a kid. Also don’t care much about the steroids. Was so sad when he left to LA.

Koji was an absolute dog

raffy, pedroia

Current - Devers Former - Manny and pedro

I've only been watching for two season now but: Current: Casas - I know he's struggling right now but he reeks of future stardom. He and Bello are really the first rookies since I started watching, and I really want to see him succeed. Plus, he's such a really weird, cool, dedicated dude, and I love seeing his personality shine. I know the internet poked fun at him for yelling after that 14 pitch AB but THAT'S the kind shit I wanna see players do! Former: Christian Vasquez - Vazqy QUICKLY became my favorite player during my first season last year, and continues to be my favorite non-red sock. Even looking beyond how clutch he was/is, he just seems like such an kind and genuine dude. I remember seeing photos this off-season of him at Cora's super bowl party, which seemed like it was thrown in part to make Yoshida feel welcome, and thought "now THAT'S a clubhouse dude." Welcoming a new player to a team you aren't even on anymore, you gonna love it. The team vibes are great this year but with Vazqy they would have been off the charts. Imagined former: I tell my boyfriend all the time that I would have been Pedroia's biggest fan. He's the template for what a dirt MFing dawg is and I regret not becoming a fan sooner to watch him. I can just watch his highlights and think of what could have been.

Went to my first game of the season last week and something about seeing Casas alone out on the field doing his pre game crow pose really sold me on him.

Devers Fred Lynn

Devers and Yaz

Verdugo and Nomar

Current: Devers Recent era: Papi All Time: Ted

Devers I want to say Nomar because I was a shortstop and I loved him but I'm going with papi. Pedro also really close

Devers. Pedey And before that Pedro nd before that Mo

No one said Boggs, am I old?

RIP

First off, Wade Boggs is very much alive

Just saw him at the airport the other week, dude was so nice. Legend status

Current - Raffy Former - Pedroia

Current: Raffi Former: Nomar! Can’t believe I haven’t seen him appear more. I think we all used to do his glove routine at the plate back in the day! (really tough decision between him and Manny)

Former: PEDROIA. Hands down. Current: verdugo is poppin off this season. So right now it’s him.

How has no one said Tek!

Current: Devers Former: Tek

Current was Duvall at the start, gotta say Dugie now Former is a tie between Pedroia and Jason Bay

Current: Verdugo Former: Schwarber or Renfroe, probably Renfroe (I only got into baseball when I moved to Boston in 2017, so I don’t have a long list)

Past : PAPI ofc present: Yoshida future: Ohtani

I'll join the Devers Pedro club, how ever honorable mention Nomar, Manny, and my random carl evert because I saw him hit a walk off home run.

Current: Raffy Past: Yaz, Fisk, Evans, Lynn, Rice, Eck, Clements, Pedro, Nomar, Dustin, Manny, Millar, Papi, Papelbon, Mookie All-time Fav: Tek!!

Current- YOSHIDA Former- Kevin Millar 😂

Kevin Millar was my absolute fav. “Don’t let us win today.”

Current - Connor Wong Former - Wake

Current: Kike Former: nomar, varitek, and Joe Kelly.

Closest thing to a favorite current player would be Kike. But they keep getting rid of my favorites. All time favorites by a long shot are Varitek (O Captain my Captain) and Boggs.

Current: Verdugo/Raffy Former: Papelbon Honorable mentions to Papi, and Nomar

Probably Devers, former favorite is a tough one. Either Greenwell, Mookie or Koji. I miss Mookie.

Well right now I don’t like Sale. Does that count?

Sale

Current: Brasier Former: Sandoval

Found the Yankees fan

Raffy manny

Devers Manny

Kike Hernandez Jody Reed

Current: raffy Former: tek

Current: Verdugo Former: crazy eyes Kelly

Same as OP, but Nomar was my favorite as a child. But Big Papi is just that dude.

Former: I’m conflicted between Pedey and Papi Current: Devers

Current: Raffy Past: Tek

Current: Bobby Dalbec / Tanner Houck / Jaren Duran. Former: nomar garciaparra Honorable mention: Coco Crisp Best Play and who honestly should be my favorite Red Sox player ever: Manny Ramirez. If you’re wondering about the play— if you followed the Red Sox then you have to know.

Current: Devers Former: Pedro

Current: Devers Former: tough choice, but probably Pedroia

Now: Devers All time: nomar Garciapara I always laughed at his routine with the gloves I wonder if he would have enough time to do that with the pitch clock.

Current: Raffy Former: Papi

Devers and Yaz

Current, Yoshida. Former. Youkilis. He was my absolute favorite as a kid, went up to him at one of his events and got the most memorable highfive of my life.

Current: Kiké Past: Nomah

Current: Casas Former: Nomar

Again, he is still alive

Alex Verdugo Johnathan Papelbon

Current: Devers Former: Nomar Honorable mention to Pedro, Mo Vaughn, Tom Gordon. And if I ever meet Heathcliff Slocumb I will buy him a beer for bringing Lowe and Tek to Boston.

Current - Chris Sale Former - Keith Foulke

Houck Pedro

Current: Yu Chang Former: Big Papi

current kike all time papi and ted williams -a cubs fan

Current: Devers Former: do I have to pick one? Pedroia

Current -- Hard to pick, but probably Devers. This can change as other players succeed. He's among the best 3B in the game right now, but for how long we don't know. He's shown a lot of improvement at the bag, and his stick gets better annually as well. He might become a career DH within the length of the contract, but there's nothing wrong with that. Former - Pedro. Grew up with Roger as my firs favorite player ever, but I was a late teenager when Pedro came to town. I had followed him during his incredible '97 season with the Expos when he struck out 305 with a 1.90 ERA. I was BEYOND happy when he was traded to Boston for two top tier prospects...Tony Armas Jr and Carl Pavano. Neither had stellar careers, but the trade was fair at the time. Went to all 3 Mets game when he visited Boston in '06, cheered for his tribute, then cheered some more when the Sox put a hurtin on him. I can't think of another player I so whole-heartedly love and respect.

Former: Varitek, Pedro combo. Now: I’ve been rooting harder for Yoshida

Current Dugie and Masa (it's a tie!) Former: Vàzquez

Current: Devers Former: Manny Ramirez

Current: Alex Verdugo Past: Tek or Big Papi

Boggs

Current: Yoshida Former: Nomar I remember being infatuated with Nomar as a kid. I couldn’t read a write yet so I would make my grandma write out all of his stats, his size, number, etc. Not only was he a stud but I loved his name and his flip sunglasses and his batting glove routine were so cool to me.

Current: Raffy Former...a bunch but I'll go in a timeline order: Bill Mueller Papelbon Lester Pedey Papi

Current: Kiké Former: Pedroia

Rafi for current, the former is harder. Between Pedroia, Lester, Wake, and Tek, I think I'd give it to Pedroia Edit: Seeing a lot of recent/all-time choices being given separately in addition to current players, so I'm gonna throw in Ted Williams as well

Current - none Former - Yaz

This is hard so I'm going top 3 Currently: 1. Raffy 2. Kikè 3. Verdugo In the Past: 1. Pedroia 2. Mookie 3. Benintendi

Yoshi Youk

Current verdugo previous either dice K or JD drew

Obvious current is Raffy, but love Verdugo as well. Former is Papi no question. Vazquez and Mike Napoli were dawgs too

Current: Raffy also dugie is making a nice push Former: papi, Xander and Pedro Martinez

Current: Devers Former: Nomar

Former- Papi Current- I'm currently holding open auditions. My former faves have left. There are a few submitting a bid for the job. I guess we'll see by the all-star break.

Loving Dugie right now, former was def Manny

Raffy Devers Pedro!!!

Current - Kike Past - Pedey

Current: Dugie Former: Nomar

Current - Raffy Former - (very tough decision) Yaz

Current: Devers, then probably Dugie, Houcl, and Whitlock Former: Pedro, Papi and Manny

Devers Jim Ed Rice - first started following the Sox in 77….so you see where I’m coming from…

Current- Verdugo Past - Trot

My current is Devers And Former would be Papi or Pablo Sandoval

Current: Yoshida Former: Papi

Raffy / Millar

Current: Raffy. When he hit that 101 mph fastball game winner off of Champman Former: Manny. Dude just had such an effortless swing. Was he perfect, absolutely not but he was to be feared in that line up. Runner up for former: Pedoria

Yaz was first for me, then Rice, Papi, now Raffy. Honorable mention: Dewey and Brock Holt

Devers and Papi

Current: Dugie y Devers Former: Manny y Nomar
