Bret Saberhagen was an accomplished pitcher long before he came to the Boston Red Sox. He was a three-time All-Star, two-time Cy Young winner and a World Series MVP. His greatest highlights were from his earlier years with the Kansas City Royals yet Saberhagen still has fond memories of his time in Boston.
The year that stands out most from Saberhagen’s time with the Red Sox was 1999. Boston hosted the All-Star Game that year, bringing a lot of buzz to the city. The team made a memorable postseason run that came up short in the ALCS against a Yankees team in the midst of a dynasty.
