Boston Red Sox pitching staff reminiscent of 1916 World Series team

The 1916 Boston Red Sox won the American League pennant with a record of 91-63 that was a slight two games better than the Chicago White Sox.

This was the fifth season that Boston played at Fenway Park with the occasional jaunt over to Braves Field thanks to restrictive Blue Laws. The team was not exactly filling the stands, with an attendance of 496,397 that ranked third in the American League.

You think a machine offense when you combine Fenway Park and the Red Sox. Historically the thoughts filter to Jimmie Foxx, Ted Williams, David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez, and a bevy of other noted sluggers who simply provided excessive clout.
