Rice's No. 14 to be Retired by Red Sox
SawxFawx found this 2 years ago on boston.redsox.mlb.com
On Tuesday, Jim Rice's number will be embedded in Fenway Park lore forever. That evening, before a 7:10 ET game against the Athletics, the Red Sox will retire the Hall of Fame outfielder's No. 14 as a tribute to his phenomenal career and in honor of his induction into Cooperstown, N.Y., on Sunday, the club announced on Wednesday. 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). Jackie Robinson's No. 42 has been retired by all Major League teams.
