One of my mentors and customers in the US who I haven't seen in 15 years was a huge Red sox fan and used to take me to games for free, so I guess the Red sox have a place as well in my heart.

Oh yes, quite the feeling at the home red sox game when I went. My customer used to work as a talent scout for the Red sox, so he knew everything about the game. In fact, he was close to becoming a professional player himself, but had to go into business due to a knee injury.

The Red Sox have had so many generational talents, but none more iconic than the late, great  Hall of Famer Ted Williams:

 Thank you very much for sharing! This group is sometimes a wonder of interesting
facts and education! =)

You're most welcome.

42 (Branch Rickey decides on an integrated roster)
https://baseballhall.org/hall-of-famers/rickey-branch
"A conservative and religious man who notably refused to participate in Sunday ball games as a player and a manager, Rickey was anything but traditional in the way he approached baseball as an executive. He invented the modern farm system and the batting helmet, was an advocate for expansion into new markets and most notably broke the color barrier when he brought Jackie Robinson to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947."
