Qualifications

The Red Sox under the Yawkey administration had three policies that players must meet to have their number retired:

• Election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame
• At least 10 years played with the Red Sox
• Retire with the Red Sox

John Henry Era

Although no numbers have been retired under the current Henry ownership, indications are that these policies may not be followed.
