It's great that Mike Greenwell made it to the Sox' HOF. He had one
of the most amazing games ever somewhere late in his career:
9 RBI in a Red Sox 9-8 win. A few others, very very few, have had
9+ RBI in a game, mostly in landslide wins. However, every single
one of Mike's was necessary for the win. His has to be the "necessary
RBI" record. I'll define "necessary RBI = RBI in a game, plus 1, minus
game's winning margin, only applicable if that player's team wins.
I don't know the NecRBI record, but I'll guess that the next highest in a
game is close to 6. Anyone know? it should be listed in Mike's November
induction ceremony.

How can Frank Sullivan be in the RS Hof F without Dick Raditz.
Pitched in the same era and Raditz , a reliever, was much more dominant. Ask the late Mickey Mantle who was the toughest pitcher he ever faced. His response ( paraphrase) Raditz, Raditz, Raditz.
