Actually for the Red Sox the combination of Vern Stephens and Ted Williams from 1948-50 was a better combination than Williams-Foxx. Foxx might have been a bigger name and Hall of Famer but Stephens put up better numbers with the Sox.

SF Bonds and Kemp

A's Canseco and McGwire

Do you mean Kent?

Yup.

Yankees:

 

1a Ruth & Gherig

1b Mantle & Maris

1c Teixeria & Rodrigues

Heck, if we are talking Pittsburgh, the answer still may be LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison.

Check out Williams and Foxx in 1939.

Can you edit this to say best 3-4 hitters?

The Reds 3-4 should be either Morgan -Bench, which were the primary 3 and 4 hitters for 1975, or Morgan-Foster, which were the primary 3 and 4 hitters for 1976.

Done

When both healthy and in their Primes for the Cubs, D. Lee, and Aramis Ramirez were a very good 3-4 combo.
