That’s Bob Shaw, went 18-6 with the 1959 AL Champions, was the starting pitcher in game 2 of the WS which I attended.
I’d love it if they went back to these uniforms.
I’ve seen a lot of great Sox centerfielders in my time like Jim Busby, Jimmy Landis and Chet Lemon but Robert is now number 1 on my list. If he could only stay healthy and give us around 800 OPS I’d be happier than a pig in slop.
No, that’s asking a lot, if they get to 70 wins it would be damn good and if team continues to improve JR has to spend some money were they can compete for a WC next year.
Beni was signed not to be the big bopper on the team, when he came aboard we were still counting on big things from Moncada, Robert, Eloy, Vaughn, Grandal and even Sheets, we all know how that worked out.
I’ve been a Beni fan since he’s been here, his first year was bad because of a pretty banged up wrist. The last year and so far this year he’s about what I expected which is fair this day and age for his contract.
Since the All Star game these guys have been scary good, IMHO the future looks pretty damn good and I will repeat, sign some quality free agents this off-season and they can compete for a WC spot next year.
