The Boston Red Sox have a search for their own Holy Grail and it is a right-handed power bat. The most successful have been external and not internal to acquire that one chip that is intricately designed for the confines of Fenway Park’s tempting target in left field.
Nothing unusual since baseball dimensions are limited to the infield with the outfield and foul territory the result of intoxicated designers or situational where the park has been squeezed into the neighborhood. Yankee Stadium still has that delicious target in right field for the lefty contingent.
Boston’s first attempt at securing such a formidable bat happened just after Tom Yawkey purchased the team.
