Duffy Lewis was a leftfielder for the Boston Red Sox between 1910 and 1917. During those seasons, Duffy was on three World Series title winning teams and formed a formidable trio of outfielders that also included Tris Speaker and Harry Hooper. Before the famed “Green Monster” at Fenway Park, there was a 10-foot mound that formed an incline on the now famous left field wall. Duffy was able to master how to play that incline that the hill was dubbed “Duffy’s Cliff”.
