I've blogged about the Patriots Hall of Fame inductees and everybody knows that the Bruins, Celtics and Red Sox retire iconic numbers at their respective homes. I learned today though that there is also a Red Sox Hall of Fame.
The patchwork quality of this mysterious place was signified by the group selected today: pitcher Curt Schilling, groundskeeper Joe Mooney, center fielder Ellis Burks, second baseman Marty Barrett, pitchers Joe Dobson (who is probably dead) and Hubert "Dutch" Leonard (definitely long gone).
They will all be part of the Class of 2012 in an induction on Friday, August 3 at Fenway Park. That night, the Red Sox host the Minnesota Twins that night with first pitch at 7:05 p.m. so I'm assuming this will all take place before that gets started.
We can only hope that the ceremony doesn't go on too long and that Big Schill doesn't take the mic for an hour. Keep it brief Curt and please don't plug your crappy video game company or your conservative political views. Congrats!
