  • 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 National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum|National Baseball Hall of Fame] in Cooperstown, New York, will be automatically enshrined in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame.
