"The Red Sox today announced plans to retire Jim Rice’s No. 14 as a tribute to his exceptional career in a Red Sox uniform and his impending induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The ceremony will take place prior to the Red Sox-Athletics game at Fenway Park on Tuesday, July 28 (Boston.com)."
I know I am in the minority, but I didn't think Rice really deserved to be in the Hall of Fame. The Hall of Fame to me is the best players of an era. Maybe I am wrong but I don't see Rice in that way. Anyways, Rice becomes the seventh player to have his number retired by the Red Sox, joining Bobby Doerr (1), Joe Cronin (4), Johnny Pesky (6), Carl Yastrzemski (8), Ted Williams (9), and Carlton Fisk (27)and The number of Jackie Robinson (42) which is done by whole MLB.
