There are quite a few well-respected former Red Sox players whose numbers were never retired, and Baseball fans debate this endlessly. It is worth noting that the Red Sox have not retired many numbers over the years (thus far, it has only been seven former players). That said, Boggs spent 11 years in Boston before leaving to play for the Yankees. It is unclear whether that factored into the decision not to retire his number, but there seems to be little momentum for doing it at this point, even though in interviews, Boggs still says he wishes it would happen.
