Which shortstops should be invited into the party? A minimum of 5 living shortstops will be selected, and a maximum of 10.

More info on the methodology here

Baseball Reference positional history here

Nominations:
Nominations must be in bold. Each poster can list up to 5 players for nominations; up to 20 players, those with the most nominations, will be included for voting. (ties going over 20 nominations will not be include because polls can only list 20 answers).


(If two players tie in the voting, the player with more nominations will be chosen.)

Nominations are accepted after this post until Wednesday 5pm ET, voting is Wednesday 5pm ET to Monday 9am ET. The top 5 in the voting for each position are in, and then the top vote-getters not previously selected will be added until we hit the total position player limit of 57. (there will also be 40 pitchers and 3 managers)

Nomination Criteria:
The mandatory criteria is that the person is alive, and played in 40 games at Shortstop for the Red Sox, and hasn't already been selected for another position in the top 100.

You can use any other criteria you want to define “greatness.”

Johnny Pesky
Rico Petrocelli

Rick Burleson
Nomar Garciaparra


Edit: For the record, I know Rico is in as a 3B. But he's a SS. I'm going to nominate Yaz for LF too.

Since Petrocelli is already on the team, he won't be in the voting for SS.
