The correct answer still hasn't been guessed to: Who was the only Red Sox pitcher of the 20th century to hold a season ERA of 3.00 or more and still lead the league?

Guesses included Roger Clemens and Oil Can Boyd. Wrong, wrong, wrong.

Here's a hint: He was not alive to see Carlton Fisk's famous homerun.

Come on, fellas! You can do it! Winner gets to pick the next available poll question.

Yeah, my google-fu got me that too, but I can't break the honor code. Still, Oil Can is a much cooler moniker than Lefty.

We need non-calendar trivia. I would have guessed this, but I have the calendar and knew the answer. I definitely didn't get it right the first time.
