David Ortiz, Manny Ramirez Headline Red Sox Hall Of Fame Class Of 2020

BOSTON — There is some serious star power heading into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2020. Five new members will be enshrined next year, headlined by David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez.

Along with Ortiz and Ramirez, who terrified opposing pitchers in the heart of the Boston lineup from 2003-2008, the Red Sox will also enshrine Rich Gedman, the late Bill Dinneen and Dan Duquette in 2020.

“Big Papi” is already prominently featured around Fenway Park, with his No. 34 hanging up in right field with the other retired numbers since 2017. Ortiz won three World Series titles in his 14 seasons in Boston, and is known as the greatest clutch hitter in franchise history thanks to his on-field heroics throughout his career. Ortiz is the franchise’s leader in regular season walk-off home runs with 10 and game-ending RBIs with 17. He won Games 4 and 5 of the 2004 ALCS against the New York Yankees with walk-off hits, and in 2013 he mashed a pivotal game-tying grand slam in Game 2 of the ALCS against the Detroit Tigers.
