"We could do a top five list just based on the Red Sox of yore, but we're going to throw those Boston Dark Ages all under one umbrella. So here we go. For starters, they sold Babe Ruth to finance a musical- they left Bill Buckner (non-functioning knees and all) at first base when they had a defensive replacement ready in Game 6 of the '86 Series- and they traded Jeff Bagwell for Larry Andersen. Oh, and you've also got Grady Little leaving Pedro in for the eighth inning of the '03 ALCS when he was running on fumes."
