Jimmie Foxx: 1936-1942
Jimmie Foxx was already a seasoned ballplayer when Athletics owner Connie Mack traded him to Boston from Philadelphia and he provided an immediate impact for the Red Sox offense, hitting 41 home runs in his first season with the club while driving home 143 runs and batting .338. Two years later in 1938, "Double X" enjoyed his best season with Boston, clubbing 50 home runs - a team record that stood until 2006 when David Ortiz smacked 54 - and posting 175 RBI - still a single-season record for the franchise - while batting .349.

Out-of-town scores are also shown for both the American and National leagues, though updates are slow to appear during any given contest given greater concern for what's happening on the field in front of it. Despite the addition of several electronic message boards to the park in recent years, some which include information like pitch counts, player statistics, and other tidbits of information, its throwback charm still garners attention from the crowds at America's oldest ballpark... more on this feature.
