Inspired by @kaseyi99.bsky.social, I tried this one using the ’86 Red Sox. It’s doable!

Nine of nine, rarity score of 2, Red Sox (and Red Sox caps) only.
I’m not fully awake yet and put Reggie Smith where I wanted to put Fred Lynn and vice versa. Oh well. Wasn’t getting below a 1 anyway.

Eight of nine in Sox caps today. Schwall’s the only pitcher to win Rookie of the Year with the Sox. And Freddy Lynn’s the only Sox player to win Rookie of the Year and play center.
So consider some limited choices, not bad.

Probably could’ve shaved a few points if I’d swapped Rice and Dewey, but I don’t think an all-Sox-caps zero is possible, so I kept ’em in their natural positions.
Sub-1 for Manny is neat, too.

Martínez never pitched for the big-league club. The Sox dumped him after he put up an ERA of nearly three touchdowns across a handful of innings in Pawtucket in 2022 (and before he got popped with back-to-back suspensions). K’d 200 for the Cards.

Couldn’t scrounge up a Venezuelan all-star in a Sox cap, but I’ll take R.B.I. Baseball legend Tony Armas. (Sub him in for Bill Buckner; guaranteed home run in his first at-bat.)

LaRose pitched only one game in the majors. Couldn’t come up with an outfielder with just a cup of coffee; Blosser had only a handful of big-league at bats. Couldn’t come up with a shortstop with one game, either, and couldn’t shake Stapleton.

Surprised I could put this one together Sox caps only with a reasonable score. Stolen bases is usually a score-tanking category.
