The Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame was instituted in 1995 to recognize the careers of former Boston Red Sox players. 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 Club are responsible for nominating candidates.

Induction ceremonies were held on:

*1995, November 1

*1997, September 8

*2000, May 18

*2002, November 14

*2004, November 10

*2006, November 9

The 2008 induction dinner is scheduled for Friday, Nov. 7, at the Marriott Copley Hotel in Boston.

The criteria for selection into the Hall is as follows:

• Player to be eligible for nomination must have played a minimum of three years with the Boston Red Sox and must also have been out of uniform as an active player a minimum of three years.
• Non-uniformed honorees such as broadcasters and front office execs are inducted by a unanimous vote of the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame selection committee. The memorable moment will be chosen by the committee as well.
• Former Boston Red Sox players and personnel in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, New York will be automatically enshrined in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
