Hello, everyone and welcome the newest installment of FireBrand trivia sponsored by Muze Clothing.
Today’s trivia question is the 5th question in a contest that will run until May 31st.
Pay attention to FireBrand because we have 5 questions coming up in the next five days and they are going to be all over the place in terms of difficulty. The winner will get a Josh Beckett tshirt from MUZE. Right now the field is wide-open so if you haven’t been commenting, now is the time to capitalize.
Who Ted Williams had three separate seasons where he posted a WAR over 11. Only one Red Sox has ever posted a single-season WAR over 12. Who was it?
HONOR CODE: No search engines.
Previous question answer: The last time the Red Sox failed to win 90 games in back-to-back seasons was at the turn of the century. The 2000-2001 Boston Red Sox sputtered towards the end of the John Harrington-era with 85 wins in ’00 and 82 in ’01.
Congratulations to Ruben for being the first to answer correctly!
