		Boudreau finishes the year with only 9 strikeouts, the best record by a RH batter in the AL since Stuffy McInnis fanned just 5 times in 142 games in 1922.

		He is often called a bold innovator and creative strategist, in large part because he is credited with devising the Ted Williams shift in 1946, bunching his infielders onto the right side of the second base bag and daring Williams to pull the ball through the barricade.
		Boudreau had a losing record as a manager, and the evidence doesn't seem to support the reputation he developed.
		His range was mediocre and his arm was so-so, but he used his intelligence and his knowledge of the hitters to put himself in the middle of the action.
