My baseball calendar informs me that on this day in 1988, the Red Sox traded two of their minor leaguers for pitcher Mike Boddicker. Boddicker was no slouch, going 7-3, 15-11 and 17-8 in his two and one half seasons with the Sox. The players they gave up? Three time All-Star utility outfielder Brady Anderson and four time All-Star pitcher Curt Schilling.

I believe also that Curt Schilling is the active major leaguer with the most at bats without getting a home run.
