Being a Red Sox homer I'd like to throw a BoSox infield into the mix. I'm not sure if this is the best Sox infield of all-time, but it's the one that immediately came to mind. 1950 Red Sox: 1B: Walt Dropo (.322, 34 HR, 144 RBI, 101 R, .583 SLG) 2B: Bobby Doerr (.294, 27 HR, 120 RBI, 103 R, 11 3B, .519 SLG) SS: Vern Stephens (.295, 30 HR, 144 RBI, 125 R, .511 SLG) 3B: Johnny Pesky (.312, 1 HR, 49 RBI, 112 R, 104 BB, .437 OBP) The Sox also had Birdie Tebbetts behind the plate (albeit for only 74 games) who batted .310 with a .377 OBP in 268 at-bats, and Billy Goodman, who won the batting title with a .354 average, posted a .427 OBP, and scored 91 runs in 110 games. Goodman spent some time in the outfield that year, playing 45 games in left, but played more games on the infield (3B: 27, 1B: 21, 2B: 5, SS: 1).<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('14995','Mike Lynch'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('14995','Mike Lynch','Great article, Tom!
