In 1995 the Red Sox Hall of Fame was instituted to recognize the outstanding careers of former Red Sox players and managers. A 15-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.
The non-uniformed person(s) selected and the memorable moment selected will be chosen only by a unanimous vote of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame Selection Committee.
The 14 players and two executives listed in bold were elected to the Cooperstown Hall of Fame before the formation of the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 1995, and were automatically enshrined in the first Red Sox Hall of Fame Class.
In September 2010 there were five inductions into the Red Sox Hall of Fame: center fielder Tommy Harper, coach/scout/executive Eddie Kasko, center fielder Jimmy Piersall, infielder John Valentin and manager Don Zimmer.
