They didn't yet have
Babe Ruth on the roster (that happened two years later), but the 1912 Boston Red Sox were a pretty dynamic team. Led by OF
Tris Speaker (.383, 10 HRs), the 1912 World Series Champs won 105 regular season games on their way to beating the New York Giants in
The Fall Classic. The rest of the outfield was pretty impressive as well:
Harry Hooper and
Duffy Lewis. Around the infield was:
Jake Stahl (also the manager) at 1B;
Steve Yerkes at 2B;
Heinie Wagner at SS;
Larry Gardner at 3B; and
Bill Carrigan at C.
Smoky Joe Wood,
Buck O'Brien,
Hugh Bedient,
Ray Collins and
Charley Hall made up the starting rotation. Hopefully, this
new record-breaking squad of
Carmine Hose can affix another World Series Championship banner behind home plate at Fenway Park.
