Jensen played in two of his three total All-Star games as a member of the Red Sox, including his magical 1958 season. Jensen produced a monster slash line of .286/35/122 to earn the 1958 AL MVP.
Jensen’s entire time in Boston was outstanding, as he .282 with over 150 home runs. Amazingly, in only seven seasons in Boston he drove in over 700 runs. In only two of his seven seasons, Jensen did not drive in over 100 runs. Clearly Jensen was a top level player in Boston, and that is why he is ranked second.
