Red Sox Magic Number - 14

With the 3-2 victory over the Orioles - the Red Sox magic number is now just 14.

To scientists the number 14 probably brings to mind the atomic number of silicon. To Red Sox fans - the number 14 means Jim Rice. The Red Sox have not issued the number 14 to any other player since Jim Rice retired. I'm hoping that Jim Rice finally gets his due as a player who put up great power numbers without the shadow of steroids hanging over him.
