 Bobby
Doerr was a slick-fielding, hard
nosed player for the great Boston
Red Sox teams of the late 1930's and
1940's. Doerr teamed up with fellow
All Stars Ted Williams and Dom
DiMaggio to form the nucleus of
those teams, Boston's finest since
their World Series days in the early
part of the century and until they
began to challenge for the World
Series in the late 1960's and
1970's. No less an authority than
Williams himself dubbed Doerr "the
silent captain of the Red Sox"
during those days, and Doerr, to
this day, is loved throughout New
England...>>>Book

Doerr
played his entire fourteen-year
career with the Boston Red Sox. He
broke into the majors in 1937 at the
age of 19 and, in the following
year, became a regular in a powerful
Red Sox lineup that included Jimmie
Foxx.
In 1939, Ted Williams' rookie
season with the Sox, Doerr began a
string of 12 consecutive seasons
with 10 or more home runs and 73 or
more RBI. He batted over .300 three
times, with 6 100-RBI seasons. Never
playing a game at a position other
than 2B, he retired after the 1951
season with a .288 lifetime batting
average, 223 home runs, 1247 RBI and
nine All-Star Game selections. He
was also a well-respected fielder.
Doerr
was inducted into the Baseball Hall
of Fame in 1986.
