The Red Sox of Boston Trivia Quiz

Answer: Derek Lowe

He was the first pitcher to win all three deciding games in one postseason. Schilling won many other important games in the 2004 playoffs (most notably game six of the ALCS). Matinez won game two of the ALDS and game three of the World Series. Williams never pitched for many reasons. First off, he retired in 1961.

He was their left fielder from 1940 to 1960. Secondly, he passed away in 2002.

Answer: Maurice

His full real name is Maurice Samuel Vaughn. The HitDog, as he was known, played in Boston from 1991 to 1998. He then played for the Anaheim Angels from 1999 until 2001, before playing for the New York Mets in 2002 and retiring. He went to college at Seton Hall with one of his future teammates John Valentin.

Answer: New York Yankees

This was just nice revenge for 2003. In 2003, the Yankees were against the ropes after the Sox tied the ALDS at three games apiece. Game seven was at Fenway Park and the Sox lost in the 11th inning. That is why their historic comeback was so much better for Red Sox fans.

It was better then any Hollywood movie because the Yankees were one game away from a sweep. Then the Sox came back and the rest is history.

Answer: 30

He did it in 1997 and 1998. Not many people have hit 30 or more home runs to begin their careers. Mark McGwire (1987-1990), Jose Canseco(1986-1988), and Ron Kittle (1983-1984) are some who have done this.

Answer: Wally the Green Monster

When you think of the Green Monster, you think of the left field wall at Fenway. Wally would be best described as a loveable fuzzy monster. Wally lived inside the wall since it was built in 1947. According to legend, he has been around since 1912 when Fenway opened. Where did he stay from 1912 to 1946 and why was he not seen? He was introduced to the fans in 1997 and has been a fan favorite ever since.

He even thought of running for President in 2004.

In 1918, they beat the Chicago Cubs for their fifth W.S Championship in team history. They added another one in 2004.

Answer: Roger Clemens

He first did in on April 29, 1986 against Seattle. He later dupilcated it on September 18, 1996, against Detroit. Kerry Wood also has a 20K game, but that was not until May 6, 1998. Koufax has a perfect game and might have been the best pitcher of his time (1955-1966), but he never got to the 20K mark. Williams(the Kid, Teddy Ballgame), the greatest hitter who ever lived, was the Red Sox left fielder from 1940 to 1960.
