Congrats are in order for Billy Wagner, a new inductee into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Unlike Ichiro and CC Sabathia, Billy Wagner had a stint with the Red Sox, pitching for them during the 2009 season. How good was that season compared to his others? Is he really a Red Sox legend, as the kids like to say? Time to take a deep-dive into the stats and find out. (Fun fact: We had John Smoltz that year too!)
Let me state, for the record, that I was 9 years old during that season and I have zero recollection of him pitching for the team that year.
