Part of the joy of being a baseball writer is the opportunity to play with statistics. Numbers can be manipulated to enhance an argument, crafted to fit a narrative. In some cases, these numbers can even lie to us. Then there are times when a particular stat stands out enough to leave us in awe. A trio of Boston Red Sox hitters have combined to produce a statistical achievement that should catch your eye.
There are only three American League hitters who enter the day batting .300+ with a .900+ OPS and 25+ home runs. All three of them play for the Red Sox.
