When Jimmy Foxx (left), and Al Simmons (right), helped bring the American League pennant to the Philadelphia Athletics back in 1931, little did they realize they would both some day be wearing the Boston spangles. When the bees bought Al yesterday, he arrived after seasons with the A's White Sox, Detroit and Washington Senators, whereas Jimmy came directly from Connie Mack's team to the Red Sox.
