This. Save Yaz for Y and use Tony C.


Ex_Lives

Tony C all day every day. My uncle gave me his book because I ate a ball to the eye in little league. Not old enough to have seen him play.

Coco crisp


misadist

Motherfucker punched out James Shields and then took on half the Rays!


Ditsche04

For the name alone!

Coco was electric

Always so fun to watch him in the outfield and on the basepaths

Crisssssssp"


CaptainDK12

The only answer!


so2017

I mean, Roger Clemens. When I was a kid he was everything.


iamagainstit

Seriously , two 20 K games, 3 Cy youngā€™s, he was legendary with us. Sure, his legacy has been somewhat tainted with his late career steroid use, but he had a full hall of fame career with us before the steroid era.


BlueRaspberry

Same. I had the Starting Lineup of him on my dresser until we traded him to Toronto.


Consistent-Taro5679

Carlton Fisk!!!


petevalle

Fisk seems better for F


oppodude

Umn, I think you forgot about Franchy Cordero.


whobroughttheircat

No we didnā€™t


Synthuhtizer

Although you may have forgotten your flair lol


k75ct

Only answer. šŸ˜‰


SuzerainGaming

Joe Castiglione count as the radio broadcaster?


KenBoSlice24

I was gonna say the same


kramer_theassman

Not a player, but his voice is so memorable and nostalgic that I canā€™t listen to the Sox without him


dirtywater29

Tony C


boookworm0367

2018 Chris Sale


x_minister

Carl Yastrzemski, although I feel like he should be used for Y


theMangoSloth

You all have Youk as well


DSDIK

Yaz > Youk


BenEsq

Youk should to be Y


BoSox92

Yoooooouuuuuuuuukkkkk


Nick315T

Donā€™t sleep on Yoennis Cespedes


AngryAaron

Clay Buckholtz!


IchBinDurstig

Gotta be Carlton Fisk for me. My grandmother had a framed picture of him - cut out of the newspaper lol - on the hutch in her kitchen when I was a kid. She's the one who made me a Red Sox fan.


beg2491

Carl Crawfords Crappy Contract. That enough Cs? :D


Own_Opportunity7478

Christian Vasquez


campingn00b

Crazy Carl Everett, and if you don't vote for him you're letting the dinosaurs win


rafuzo2

He deserves an honorable mention just for coining "Curly haired boyfriend"


chmcgrath1988

Carl YastrzemskiĀ 


ohromantics

Edit: deleted because we should save Yaz for Y


cormacito

Youk


ohromantics

I get the sentiment. I think Yaz should take Y. We have to be strategic about this. Teddy for T or W? Jon Lester for J or L, but we need space for Jim Rice, etc. Edit: now that I think about it, T & W is going to be a showdown between Wakefield and Williams.

Bernie to this day is a quality human.


ThaDoctor49

Omg dude your profile pic!!!! Lmfao omega xlā€¦. Order it, itā€™s good for you!


Krongos032284

Carl Yastrzemski is the only right answer. After that, Chris Sale and Christian Vazquez come to mind.


EpilepticShark

Curt Schillingā€™s Sock. Not him, his sock


cossack190

It's such a shame what a massive shitheel he ended up being


Easy__Mark

He killed the pawsox


KindBass

Indirectly, but pretty much. When the PawSox needed a new stadium, the popular opinion was basically, "look what happened with Curt Schilling", even though that was a totally different situation. Just the association with baseball was enough. FWIW, I blame Lucchino more than anyone.


WarlordofBritannia

Bloodyheel, actually


Ok-Enthusiasm4685

Nice play on words.


TheOnlyBigTiny

Sucks that growing up I idled himā€¦ my pitching motion, I blew my cheeks out, it was so much they called me Mini Schillā€¦so for him to be a complete fuck now feels like I wasted my childhood.


andhemac

Itā€™s crazy how many people would have this response if he wasnā€™t a scumbag piece of shit


JCScnDesign

For ā€œCā€ Iā€™d like to nominate Jason Varitek. Wore a C on his jersey more prominently than any other Boston player


Apnea53

The only one to ever wear the "C".


Cash4Goldschmidt

Bartolo Colon


WarlordofBritannia

Saw him in Pawtucket, would never have guessed he had another decade of major league pitching in his rotund frame. I'm not often wrong about baseball, but when I am I am about as wrong as I can be.


icykutz

Pedro Ciriaco


Sprague1135

Lmao what a guy.. I RAKED with him in 2k12? Maybe


BulletClubSoda

Carl Yastrzemski, specifically because he deserves to be there, but weā€™re gonna need Y for Yooouuuuuk


transtrailtrash

Custin Cedroia


Bluberrybom

Jose Canseco


ohromantics

Juiced!


Accurate-Temporary73

Carlos Quintana I want to stuff him into the C slot to make the Q spot more interesting.


KindBass

Q should be Curt Schilling


Accurate-Temporary73

You know? Thatā€™s good.


Ol_Salty63

Tony Conigliaro


christofir

Alex Cora


Marlo_Stanfield_919

Cody Ross for that awesome freak out on Alfonso Marquez he had


rNFLmodsAreAss

He was the only fun thing about 2012


Distance_Motor

Give me Chris Sale purely for getting Machado on his knees for the last out of the 2018 WS


Kakali4

Carlton Fisk

Cy Young. No contest.

Lives in same town as I do, met his wife/kids at a bday party. My hope is to somehow cross paths with him one of these days


Apnea53

or Orlando Cepeda


andhemac

Such a good answer


_ArgoNavis

Carl Yaz!


dimsvm

I know theres more notable names but in the context of my life, Cristian Vazquez is who I think of


wicket146

Clay Buchholz


liquidhotsmegma

Carl Crawford SIIIIKE!!!!


Big_Cat_1742

Tony conigliaro


mageta621

Clemens. Save Fisk for F and Yaz for Y


Funny-Knowledge-7986

Carney Lansford


BloodyRightNostril

It ainā€™t Curt Schilling.


chmcgrath1988

Roger Clemens and Carl Everett too. 'C' is a popular letter for once celebrated Red Sox turned pariahs.


steebo

The Curt Schilling that retired from the Sox would get a few votes. The asshole he revealed himself to be, not so much.


BigScoops96

Dirt bag Curt is probably most memorable. Christian Vazquez probably my favorite from recent memory


mrticket18

Jurassic Carl Everett!


jaritadaubenspeck

Tony C.

Coco crisp

Coco Crisp was the first that came to my mind

Obviously, Mike Carp!

CARLTON FISK


Screwflu605

Carl Everett


DizzyTS13

Red Sox legend Craig grebeck


WhipCityUrchin

I remember Bill Simmons, back when he was just the ā€œBoston Sports Guyā€, would say Grebeck looked like the Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer.


Technical-Cash6038

Coco crisp! Lol no probably Clemens


Thossy

Carlos Quintana but heā€™s probably a better q option


Heir_of_Arkham

Coco Crisp


Creedreader

Coco Crisp


aSamsquanch

C is tough! Clemens, Yaz, Tony C, Fisk, and Cy Young are all Iconic - I think I have to go with Yaz tho - before my time, but they made a song about how much they loved him - he's pure legend


foofoo_kachoo

Rafael ā€œCaritaā€ Devers!


vipstrippers

Yaz


bossandy

First name that came to mind was Kutter Crawford just because heā€™s a current player. Favorite would be Chris Sale, loved his slider.


LosPer

Yaz


FinnHobart

Carlton Fisk, weā€™ll use Y for Yaz (sorry Youk).

Tony Conigliaro


s92eric0405

Che-Hsuan Lin, not sure if he counts as C( cause in Chinese it's actually pronounced Lin Che Hsuan), anyway most people probably don't remember him or even know him, I choose him because he's the first ever Tainwanese to play for Red Sox, even though it's only one season, but he won the minor league all star game MVP once, hitting a two run Homer that game, he's still playing in my country now, also playing for the team I support too!( Fubon Guardians)


tree6house

Carl Crawford


iamagainstit

Wild that Clemens does t have more votes. He was one of the best pitcher in baseball for like a decade with us

Carl Yastrzemski. Save the Y for the Greek God of Walks.

Triston "Ted Williams" Casas


Horror-Lemon7340

Conigliaro


formeraide

I'm old, so Tony C. After all, "C" is his entire last name!


Godzilla501

Cecil Cooper. He hit the game winning HR in my first game attending Fenway. I was 9.


DVS_Gelitan

Sucks that things turned out the way they did, but 04 doesn't happen without Curt Schilling


danman296

Some stiff competition but I think it's gotta be Alex Cora


No_Reputation665

Coco Crisp


ObsoleteUtopia

Conigliaro, Tony C. He was a legend around here: a local boy (Swampscott, I think), a "bonus baby" who had to stay on the roster all year - he was 19 - and ended up playing almost every day and hitting about .290 with power. He was also very good-looking (or that's what the women all said, I wouldn't know ā˜ŗ) and something of a man-about-town/partier. He became a legend. He even cut a record in the Frankie Avalon/Bobby Vinton vein that sold fairly well around here. For those who don't know, he took a fastball in the head during the incredible 1967 pennant drive. He didn't play for a year and a half, played two full years in 1969 and 1970, then his eyesight and health went downhill. Clemens will probably win this informal poll, and Clemens deserves it in a lot of ways despite not being a real nice guy. Cy Young and Carlton Fisk are good choices. Yaz would be my other favorite. (I just noticed that Cy and Yaz will have to duke it out for the Y.) But for sheer charisma and for the drama surrounding his career, Tony C gets my vote.


CunningRunt

Creighton Gubanich


Bossman1086

Clay Buchholz is the first one that comes to mind. But I'd probably have to go with Clemens.


KOBE_GYN

Rusney Castillo is the answer


lonetree72

Tony Conigliaro!


Sox4theWS17

Chris Sale


natas333x2

When I was kid I met Carlos Quintana. He was briefly my favorite player because he was nice. He didn't stay in baseball too long


granitegrl19

Coco Crisp. Best of both worlds.


Frankgibbonz

I loved it when you werenā€™t CHEAP. Thereā€™s something that starts with a c.


MstrRob1972

Easy one for meā€¦Carl Yastrzemski! Not easy to spell but an easy choice! Second would be Roger Clemons!

Curt Schilling, just because I attended his final major league game, game 2 of the 2007 World Series, when I was still in high school.

Joe Castiglione

Iā€™m gonna go with Coco Crisp, just for the double ā€œCā€. Otherwise, Iā€™d go with Roger Clemens.

Carlton Fisk, no doubt. Chris Sale will always be my favorite though.
