The requirements were as follows:<ref>{{cite book |title=2014 Boston Red Sox Media Guide |date=2014 |page=416 |url=http://pressroom.redsox.com/GetFile.ashx?Location=MEDIA%20GUIDE/Media%20Guides/2014%20Boston%20Red%20Sox%20Media%20Guide.pdf |access-date=July 5, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181119214651/http://pressroom.redsox.com/GetFile.ashx?Location=MEDIA%20GUIDE%2FMedia%20Guides%2F2014%20Boston%20Red%20Sox%20Media%20Guide.pdf |archive-date=November 19, 2018 |url-status=dead }}</ref> #Election to the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|National Baseball Hall of Fame]] #At least 10 years played with the Red Sox #Finished his career with the club. These requirements were reconsidered after the election of [[Carlton Fisk]] to the Hall of Fame in 2000; who met the first two requirements but played the second half of his career with the [[Chicago White Sox]]. As a means of meeting the criteria, then-GM Dan Duquette hired Fisk for one day as a special assistant, which allowed Fisk to technically finish his career with the Red Sox.<ref>{{Cite book|last=Grossman|first=Leigh|title=The Red Sox Fan Handbook|publisher=Swordsmith Books|year=2001|page=[https://archive.org/details/redsoxfanhandboo00leig/page/208 208]|isbn=1-931013-03-9|url=https://archive.org/details/redsoxfanhandboo00leig/page/208}}</ref> In 2008, the Red Sox made an "exception" by retiring number 6 for [[Johnny Pesky]]. Pesky neither spent ten years as a player nor was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame; however, Red Sox ownership cited "... his versatility of his contributions—on the field, off the field, [and] in the dugout ...", including as a manager, scout, and special instructor and decided that the honor had been well-earned.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.boston.com/sports/baseball/redsox/articles/2008/09/24/pesky_makes_honor_roll?mode=PF|title=Pesky makes honor roll|date=September 24, 2008|work=The Boston Globe|first=Michael|last=Vega}}</ref> Pesky spent 57 years with the Red Sox organization; as a minor league player (1940–1941), major league player (1942, 1946–1952), minor league manager (1961–1962, 1990), major league manager (1963–1964, 1980), broadcaster (1969–1974), major league coach (1975–1984), and as a special instructor and assistant general manager (1985–2012). In 2015, the Red Sox chose to forgo the official criteria and retire [[Pedro Martínez]]' number 45. Martínez only spent seven of his 18 seasons in Boston. In justifying the number's retirement, Red Sox principal owner John Henry stated, "To be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame upon his first year of eligibility speaks volumes regarding Pedro's outstanding career, and is a testament to the respect and admiration so many in baseball have for him."<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.bostonherald.com/sports/red_sox_mlb/clubhouse_insider/2015/06/red_sox_to_retire_pedro_martinezs_no_45_at_fenway_park|title=Red Sox to retire Pedro Martínez's No. 45 at Fenway Park on July 28|date=June 22, 2015|first=Jason|last=Mastrodonato|work=Boston Herald}}</ref> After announcing Martínez's number retirement, the official criteria no longer appeared on the team website<ref name=retnos>{{cite web|url=https://www.mlb.com/redsox/history/retired-numbers|title=Retired Numbers|publisher=Boston Red Sox|website=MLB.com|access-date=February 26, 2021}}</ref> nor future media guides.<ref>{{cite book |title=2015 Boston Red Sox Media Guide |date=2015 |pages=376–379 |url=http://pressroom.redsox.com/GetFile.ashx?Location=MEDIA%20GUIDE/Media%20Guides/2015%20Boston%20Red%20Sox%20Media%20Guide.pdf }} {{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite book |title=2016 Boston Red Sox Media Guide |date=2016 |pages=353–356 |url=http://pressroom.redsox.com/GetFile.ashx?Location=MEDIA%20GUIDE/Media%20Guides/2016%20Boston%20Red%20Sox%20Media%20Guide.pdf }} {{Dead link|date=July 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> In 2017, less than eight months after he played the final game of his illustrious career, [[David Ortiz]] had his number 34 retired by the Red Sox.

He last wore it for the team in 1998. In commemoration of Jackie Robinson Day, MLB invited players to wear the number 42 for games played on April 15, which [[Coco Crisp]] (CF), David Ortiz (DH), and [[DeMarlo Hale]] (Coach) did in 2007 and again in 2008. Starting in 2009, MLB had all uniformed players for all teams wear number 42 for Jackie Robinson Day. While not officially retired, the Red Sox have not issued several numbers since the departure of prominent figures who wore them, specifically:<ref name=uninums/> * '''15''' – [[Dustin Pedroia]] 2B (MLB 2006–2019; all with Boston) * '''21''' – [[Roger Clemens]] RHP (MLB 1984–2007; Boston 1984–1996){{efn|Red Sox catcher [[Christian Vázquez]] joined other Puerto Rican MLB players in wearing number 21 on September 10, 2020, to honor [[Roberto Clemente]].<ref name=uninums/>}} * '''33''' – [[Jason Varitek]] C (MLB 1997–2011; all with Boston).

It was pointed out that the numbers, when read as a date (9/4/18), marked the eve of the first game of the [[1918 World Series]], the last championship series that the Red Sox won before 2004. After the facade was repainted, the numbers were rearranged in numerical order. In 2012, the numbers were rearranged again in chronological order of retirement (9, 4, 1, 8, 27, 6, 14) followed by Robinson's 42. As additional numbers were retired, Robinson's 42 was moved to the right so it remains the right-most number hanging. === Baseball Hall of Famers === {{further|List of Boston Red Sox Hall of Famers}} [[File:Pedro Martinez HOF.jpg|thumb|[[Pedro Martínez]] was inducted to the [[National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|National Baseball Hall of Fame]] in 2015.]] {{Baseball hall of fame list |Current Team Name=Boston Red Sox | All Team Names=Red Sox | ColorA#=BD3039 | ColorB#=FFFFFF | ColorC#=0D2B56 | ColorD#=FFFFFF | Team Name 1 = | List 1.1=[[Luis Aparicio]]<br /> [[Adrián Beltré]]<br /> '''[[Wade Boggs]]''' *<br /> [[Lou Boudreau]]<br /> [[Jesse Burkett]]<br /> [[Orlando Cepeda]]<br /> [[Jack Chesbro]]<br /> [[Jimmy Collins]] * | List 1.2= '''[[Joe Cronin]]''' *<br />[[Andre Dawson]]<br /> '''[[Bobby Doerr]]''' *<br /> [[Dennis Eckersley]]<br /> '''[[Rick Ferrell]]''' * <br /> '''[[Carlton Fisk]]''' <br /> '''[[Jimmie Foxx]]''' <br /> '''[[Lefty Grove]]''' <br /> [[Rickey Henderson]] | List 1.3=[[Harry Hooper]]*<br /> [[Waite Hoyt]]<br /> [[Ferguson Jenkins]]<br /> [[George Kell]]<br /> [[Heinie Manush]]<br /> [[Juan Marichal]]<br /> '''[[Pedro Martínez]]''' * <br/> [[Joe McCarthy (baseball manager)|Joe McCarthy]] | List 1.4='''[[David Ortiz]]''' *<br /> '''[[Herb Pennock]]''' <br /> [[Tony Pérez]]<br /> '''[[Jim Rice]]''' *<br /> [[Red Ruffing]]<br /> [[Babe Ruth]]<br /> [[Tom Seaver]]<br /> [[Al Simmons]]<br /> [[Lee Smith (baseball)|Lee Smith]] | List 1.5 = [[John Smoltz]]<br /> [[Tris Speaker]]<br /> [[Billy Wagner]]<br /> [[Dick Williams]]<br /> '''[[Ted Williams]]''' *<br /> '''[[Carl Yastrzemski]]''' *<br /> [[Tom Yawkey]] * <br /> [[Cy Young]] | Team Name 2= | List 2.1= | List 2.2= | List 2.3= | List 2.4= | List 2.5= | Team Name 3= | List 3.1= | List 3.2= | List 3.3= | List 3.4= | List 3.5= | Team Name 4= | List 4.1= | List 4.2= | List 4.3= | List 4.4= | List 4.5= | Footnote1=* Boston Red Sox listed as primary team according to the Hall of Fame | Footnote2= | Footnote3= | Footnote4= |}} ==== Ford C.
