The Sox have retired the numbers of Bobby Doerr, Joe Cronin, Carl Yastrzemski, Ted Williams, and Carlton Fisk. This is a pretty good group, but do you think the Sox should pay any other former players this honor?
Some names that came to mind (not that they all should be retired, just some players I might consider if I were to open the gates a little more):
Wade Boggs (Is his number being retired?)
Jim Rice
Dwight Evans
Fred Lynn
Luis Tiant
Johnny Pesky
Dom DiMaggio
Mo Vaughn
Jimmie Foxx
Lefty Grove
And maybe a note about guys like Cy Young, Tris Speaker, Jimmy Collins, and even Babe Ruth (since they didn't have numbers)
