Historically speaking, this Red Sox lineup stacks up quite nicely

Wait, so the Red Sox could have a lineup this season that includes Ryne Sandberg, Duke Snider, Craig Biggio, and even Willie Mays Aikens?
Well, no. That’s absurd. That would be a very old and rickety team. Not to mention that Snider, the Brooklyn Dodgers legend, is no longer with us, having gone to the Great Ebbetts Field in the Sky in 2011.
What I meant to say is that the Red Sox will have a lineup this season that includes players who are strikingly similar statistically to Sandberg, Snider, Biggio, Aikens (a personal favorite), and many more.
