Yet another record broken by our boy Lester, he just broke Bruce Hurst's record for the most strikeouts in one season with a whopping 191 so far this year, his last being B.J. Upton.

Honestly most people may consider Beckett our ace, but I couldn't imagine the Sox without Lester at this point, he brings alot of heart and soul to the team.

My father has Leukemia and believe me it is not an easy thing to get past at all, nevermind play Major League ball after it, this man deserves way more credit then anyone can really even give him.
