Brock Holt is the only player in league history to hit for the cycle in a playoff game.
He hit two cycles in his Red Sox career.
Brock was a fixture in this org from 2013-2019 and remains one to this day both w the team and the community.

Hanley Ramirez, they can never make me hate you.
2016 Hanley was an ANIMAL, slashing .286/.361/.505 with 30 HR and 111 RBI.
He also saved Gary Sanchez’s life by hammering this ball off Dellin Betances.

Andrew Miller became very vital during his time in Boston.
However, it’s hard to not remember him as the pitcher during the famous “boob grab” at Fenway in 2011.
@DonOrsillo and Jerry Remy on the call❤️

We all thought this series was curtains when Schwarber hit this one.
One of the best midseason acquisitions in recent Red Sox history. A shame it couldn’t work out with him as a long term fit.
18 days away from Opening Day 🔥
After a bad year for the Sox offense in the wake of David Ortiz's retirement, the org signed DH/OF J.D. Martinez to a five-year deal.

28 Days til Opening Day in Texas.
Certainly in the running for the best one-and-done in Red Sox history, Adrian Beltre resurrected what became a Hall of Fame career in 2010 with Boston.
In 154 games, Beltre slashed .321/.365/.553 with a 141 OPS+ and 7.8 rWAR.

It’s crazy that the 2018 Red Sox, as historic as they were, had their season saved by one play … yet it was.
Andrew Benintendi laid out to rob now-Red Sox Alex Bregman to end the game. Had he missed, we go to Game 5 tied 2-2.
