The 2011 Red Sox were proclaimed the “Best Team Ever” by the Boston Herald at the beginning of the season. They have a line up that includes four all stars and two MVP candidates and one of the best closers in the game. Yet Ryan Lavarnway may be the hero of the 2011 season.
Honestly, when Jason Varitek went down with a bruised knee and Saltalamaccia went down with a bruised collarbone, did you really think Ryan Lavarnway would step up and contribute the way he did? Honestly?
The guy had never played a full game at catcher for the Red Sox. He had never caught Erik Bedard ever. Yet he comes in, does a good job calling the game and has an unbelievable night at the plate, with two home runs and 4 rbi. And may have just become the savior of the Red Sox 2011 season. Who woulda thunk.
