The Red Sox Wednesday announced plans to retire Hall of Famer Jim Rice’s uniform No. 14 as a tribute to his exceptional career in a Red Sox uniform and in honor of his induction into The National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown, NY. The ceremony will take place prior to the Red Sox-A's game at Fenway Park on Tuesday.
It will be the seventh number to be retired by the franchise, joining Bobby Doerr (1), Joe Cronin (4), Johnny Pesky (6), Carl Yastrzemski (8), Ted Williams (9), and Carlton Fisk (27). The number of Jackie Robinson (42) has been retired by all teams in Major League Baseball.
