Boston Red Sox batting champions All-Star team montage

Batting champions are certainly not a rarity for the Boston Red Sox nor are multiple winners. The quaint dimensions of Fenway Park certainly offer advantages to hitters, especially the lack of foul territory. Despite playing in Fenway since 1912, it took until 1938 for a Red Sox player to win a batting championship. Then they made up for the lost time.

Since that 1938 season, the team has had twelve batting champions that have accumulated 25 titles. Developing an All-Star team of the champions requires some hard decisions such as leaving a talented Billy Goodman and Bill Mueller off the team.
