Red Sox Game Notes: Christian Vazquez has thrown out 15 of 29 attempted base stealers, a 52% success rate ... That would be the best single-season mark in club history among catchers with at least 15 games behind the plate. No rookie with at least 50 games behind the plate has ever posted a single-season catcher caught stealing rate this high ... The last major leaguer overall to do it was STL's Yadier Molina in 2005 (55%; 17 CS, 14 SB).

54 Years Ago Today: Ted Williams played his final major league game. homering in his last at-bat.
