July 29's MLB Immaculate Grid piqued the interest of the Boston Red Sox fans in particular as it required participants to name pitchers who have managed 20+ win seasons for the franchise.
Although the Boston Red Sox boast a rich history, 20+ win seasons have become a rarity for pitchers these days.
There have been 28 players to have dished 20+ wins in a season for the Red Sox, with the iconic Smoky Joe Wood holding the franchise record for most wins in an MLB season.
Wood set the record after bagging 34 wins in 1912, claiming the first of his three World Series titles that year. Cy Young is another legendary figure to feature on this list.

Young breached the 20-win mark in a season on four occasions. What makes his feat even more impressive is the fact that he did it in consecutive seasons from 1901 to 1904.
He is tied for the most wins by a pitcher for the Red Sox, alongside Roger Clemens' 192. Clemens is another pitcher to have managed 20+ wins in a season, as he finished with 24 wins in the 1986 season.
