Fred Lynn did not feel well one evening so he relaxed and collected three home runs and ten RBIs. Jim Rice was supposedly jealous of Lynn, so, according to the experts, he played better. And who can explain a ten game streak in July when the Sox averaged eight runs a game just when the pitching staff was taking a vacation...
