In
1975, Lynn captivated Boston with
his effortless left-handed swing,
ringing line drives, and almost
daily sprawling catches in
centerfield as he led a young Red
Sox club to within one win of the
World Championship. On June 18 he
bombed the Tigers with 3 HR, 10 RBI,
and 16 total bases in one game, and
by season's end Lynn had hit .331,
led the AL in runs and doubles, and
became the only player ever to be
named Rookie of the Year and MVP in
the same season. In 1979, he was
even better, leading the AL in
batting (.333) with 39 HR and 122
RBI...Book

He remained one of the AL's
better-fielding outfielders when
healthy, and had six consecutive 20
HR seasons (1982-88). His grand slam
in the 1983
All-Star Game
(the only grand slam in All-Star
play) was his fourth All-Star Game
home run, second only to
Stan Musial
in ML history.
