The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame was established in 1995 as a way to honor the exceptional playing and managerial careers of Red Sox legends. A representative of a 15 people board, which includes Red Sox broadcasters and executives, as well as members from the Sports Museum of New England and the BoSox Booster Club, nominate individuals.
Non-uniformed Red Sox players’ accomplishments are also taken into account while voting on their inclusion in the Hall of Fame. The significance of a particular moment in Red Sox history cannot be overstated.
CRITERIA TO BE AN INDUCTEE
Candidates for the award must have played for the Red Sox for at least three seasons and must have been out of uniform as an active player for a minimum of three years in order to be considered for selection.
The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame Selection Committee will pick the non-uniformed person(s) and the memorable moment(s) only if there is a unanimous vote among the members of the selection committee.
