With another week of baseball in the books for the 2014 season the Red Sox remain the cellar dwellers of the AL East. Despite playing putrid baseball for the majority of the season, the Red Sox just turned in one of their most productive weeks of baseball; going 4-2...

I can still picture him in my head, crouched in that unusual batting stance, uncoiling to lash a line drive into the outfield or drive a ball into the seats. Jeff Bagwell put up tremendous offensive numbers during his 15 year major league career, numbers that should...
