These three lead a remarkable cast of baseball giants who have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame and also spent time as members of the Boston Red Sox organization. A few distinguished players include Cy Young, Carlton Fisk, Babe Ruth, Wade Boggs, Bobby Doerr, Tris Speaker, and Pedro Martinez.
