The big lefthanded hitter batted an even .300 over his career, which included five seasons in Boston. With the Sox in 1996, Jefferson batted .347 in 386 plate appearances, well short of the number needed to qualify for the batting title (won by Alex Rodriguez that season at .358). In ’97, Jefferson had a 22-game hitting streak to go along with a .319 average. (Jefferson's stats and facts)
