What rules did they have?

My guess it's normally a 5 year wait?

It appears I've been somewhat corrected, as they've forgone their rules a few times lately.

The Red Sox used to publish on their website and their annual media guides three official requirements for a player to have his number retired:

1. Election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame
2. At least 10 years played with the Red Sox
3. Finished his career with the club.

These requirements were reconsidered after the election of Carlton Fisk to the Hall of Fame in 2000; who met the first 2 requirements but played the second half of his career with the White Sox. As a means of meeting the criteria, then-GM Dan Duquette hired Fisk for one day as a special assistant, which allowed Fisk to technically finish his career with the Red Sox.

In 2008, the Red Sox made an "exception" by retiring #6 for Johnny Pesky. Pesky neither spent ten years as a player nor was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame; however, Red Sox ownership cited "... his versatility of his contributions—on the field, off the field, [and] in the dugout ...", including as a manager, scout, and special instructor and decided that the honor had been well-earned. Pesky spent 55 years with the Red Sox organization; as a player (1942, 1946-1952), minor league manager (1961-1962, 1990), major league manager (1963-1964, 1980), broadcaster (1969-1974), major league coach (1975-1984), and as a special instructor and assistant general manager (1985-2012).

In 2015, the Red Sox chose to forgo the official criteria and retire Pedro Martínez's #45. Martínez only spent 7 of his 18 seasons in Boston. In justifying the number's retirement, Red Sox principal owner John Henry stated, "To be elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame upon his first year of eligibility speaks volumes regarding Pedro's outstanding career, and is a testament to the respect and admiration so many in baseball have for him." After which, the official criteria no longer appeared on the team website nor future media guides.

During pre-game ceremonies in honor of the final game of David Ortiz's career on October 2, 2016, the Red Sox announced that they will retire #34 in Ortiz's honor at a ceremony during the 2017 season.

Do you have images or links to 2016 articles on this removal?

Re: MLB 17 Stadium Accuracy / Feedback Thread

Last night I was watching the Red Sox playoff game and a ball was hit off the left field scoreboard and you could hear a very loud bang.

I would like for this same sound to be added to MLB The Show 17 when balls are hit off the green monster scoreboard.

Here is a video from another game where you can hear the sound I am talking about.

Globe Life Park in Arlington has a Chick-fil-A "Fowl advertisement sign on both foul poles. It's the sameone that is used on the foul poles at Minute Maid Park.

I know you can not add Chick-fil-A "Fowl Poles but perhaps you could make up a fake advertisement for foul poles at both ball parks?

The expected distance to CF at Minute Maid Park next season is 409', Tal's Hill will be gone.

Yeah - the gate itself still exists, there's just no viewing window from the street.

Here's a photo I found on Flickr from this season. It's zoomed in, but it's the right field corner in the background.

I feel like a lot of people put in some great work here. Here is to hoping some of it gets into 17!
