Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame

In 1995 the Red Sox Hall of Fame was instituted to recognize the outstanding careers of former Red Sox players and managers. A 14-member selection committee of Red Sox broadcasters and executives, past and present media personnel, and representatives from The Sports Museum of New England and the BoSox Booster Club is responsible for nominating candidates. The feats of non-uniformed Red Sox personnel are also considered for induction into the Hall. A memorable moment in Red Sox history is regarded as well for its special significance.

To be eligible for nomination, players must have played at least three years with the Red Sox and must also have been out of uniform as an active player at least three years.

INDUCTED IN 2002

November 14, 2002 Fred Lynn was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame. After being traded from the Red Sox over 22 years ago, Fred Lynn was reunited with the Red Sox and will forever be enshrined in the Red Sox Hall of Fame. While Fred Lynn was with the Red Sox, he was the first player to win rookie of the year and MVP in the same season, won four gold gloves, 1979 batting title, and six All Star appearances.
