Legend

|
Players hitting at "Ruthian" levels are honored with, of course, the Babe. |

|
Players slumping are dis-honored with punchless former backup catcher John Flaherty. |

|
Injured players are indicated by the perpetually-hurt Nick Johnson, who unfortunately just hurt himself posing for this picture. |
