8. Cy Young

The man for which the pitching award is named, is not even the best pitcher in his team’s history. Cy Young led the Red Sox from 1901 to 1908 with a 192-112 record and a 2.00 ERA. Young allowed just 2,347 hits over 2,728.1 innings pitched. Cy helped the Red Sox bring home a 1903 World Series title. Had he spent his entire 22 year career in Boston, he’d surely be number one on this list.

7. Roger Clemens

The majority of Roger Clemens’ career was spent in Boston, where he pitched for 13 seasons. In that span, Clemens won an MVP and three Cy Young awards. He went 192-111 with a 3.06 ERA. If Clemens had remained a Red Sox and stayed off the juice, he would be even higher on this list and would be a Hall of Famer.

6. Tris Speaker

Tris Speaker spent 9 seasons in Boston as a center fielder. Over those years, Speaker hit .337 and had 241 doubles. His career 792 doubles is an MLB record. Tris won the 1912 American League MVP Award, as he hit .383 with 10 home runs and 53 doubles. Speaker was a career .971 fielder and he helped Boston bring home titles in 1912 and 1915.
