The club's current outfield is creating similar excitement in the early stage of their careers. This trio, from left to right, of Andrew Benintendi, Jackie Bradley Jr. and Mookie Betts shares a key similarity with that former brilliant trio: They were all drafted and developed by the Red Sox.
There already is one star in Betts, who finished second to superstar Mike Trout in the race for the American League MVP Award in 2016. Betts can beat teams in every way, gaining the respect of Trout.
"What an unbelievable player and person," Trout said of Betts the night the MVP results were announced this past November.
