Boston Outfielder Appears To Have Old Jinx In Retreat
Boston outfielder Carl Reynolds leads the American League in batting and slugging after years of misfortune. The 7 year veteran, now with the Red Sox, enjoys health and strong form, while past incidents like Bill Dickey’s punch and a broken jaw are recalled as Reynolds pursues a lasting breakout season. Reynolds has a seven year .313 average and a current slugging pace around .507 through 17 games, with Hornsby Collins Harris among those hoping his gains persist.
