Its a memorable baseball line from Alibi Ike a short story by fa bled writer Ring 1 had ma most o the season claims Ike I wound up with 356 No matter what sickness injury even Margo Adams you can be sure Wade Boggs will be at or near the top of the batting charts with an average around 350 But Boggs is only the latest in a long line of American League batting champs to perform for the Boston Red Sox In fact nine different Red Sox players have combined to win a total of 21 batting titles That means that with the AL having started back in nearly 24 percent of the leagues batting champs have been from the Red Sox The figure jumps even higher when you take into account that Boston s current home Fenway Park not open until 1912 Twentyone of 77 crowns 27 per cent have been won by hitters who played home games at Fenway Boston s first winner was Dale in so the 21 crowns were actually won in the past years Topping the list of Boston great hitters are Ted Williams with six bat ting titles 47 Wade with 1983 1985- 88 and Carl with three 1963 67 68 Obviously hitters such as Ted Williams and Wade could have won batting titles no matter where they played However just as obviously Fen does add

a mark or percent lower Only Royals Stadium in Kansas City and Dodger Stadium in Los Ange les were better hitters parks last year Increasing averages by 8 and percent respectively Last year was not an aberration ther Over the past five seasons Fen way Park has Increased averages by 7 percent 284 to 264 for the larg est increase of any stadium in the majors When Red Sox players alone are considered the figures are striking Boston batted 303 at home last year and only 263 on the road Every one of the 12 regulars or semi regulars on the Red Sox roster hit better at Fenway ranging from a 12 point difference for Mike Green well to 319 to an 88 point for Rick Cerone 308 to 220 Contrary to popular belie Fen way Park is not especially conducive to producing home runs despite the firesence of The

same teams in road games During that span of time 17 of the league stadiums proved to better home run parks The top three Wngley Field in Chicago the in Seattle and San Diego Stadium increased home runs re spectively by 34 1 and 25 percent Over the past 10 years only 25 players with a minimum of total at bats have hit at least 040 better in their home parks than on the road Five of them played
