Red Sox doubling down with penchant for hitting doubles

There are statistical variants that have long fascinated me as a version of baseball shiny keys and one notable one is doubles. Watching the Boston Red Sox play baseball at Fenway Park, you become accustomed to doubles as the park is certainly conducive for the two-bagger.

The Red Sox have a long history of American League leaders in doubles with the last being David Ortiz who banged out an impressive 48 in his 2016 farewell season. That was the only season Ortiz managed to lead the league, but he went for 40+ in four other seasons including 52 in 2007.
