"The best outfield trio I ever saw? That's easy. Speaker, Lewis and Hooper – and the greatest of those was Hooper." – Red Sox manager Bill Carrigan
Harry Hooper arrived in Boston for his first full season in 1910, joining Tris Speaker and Duffy Lewis in the outfield for a six-year run. The trio was dubbed the "Million-Dollar Outfield" and won two World Series together. Hooper added two more after Speaker and then Lewis left.

Catcher Ernie Lombardi would appear to be the kind of tall tale scouts like to invent when they are sitting through a rain delay.
Everything about the longtime Reds star seemed larger than life. He had one of the best arms in baseball, the kind of arm that tempted scouts at times to make him a pitcher. He had hands that seemed to almost make a catcher’s mitt superfluous. He swung a 42-ounce bat that made most everyone else’s bats look like a toothpick, thanks to massive wrists and forearms.
