Jason Varitek, Tim Wakefield, Ira Flagstead and Larry Lucchino will comprise the 2016 class of the Red Sox Hall of Fame.
The honorees, selected by a 14-person panel and revealed today by the team, will be inducted May 19 at the Sheraton Boston Hotel and celebrated the following day in a pregame ceremony at Fenway Park. The Sox induct new members to their Hall of Fame every other year.
Varitek and Wakefield were central to World Series championships in 2004 and 2007 and retired within days of one another in spring training of 2012. It is fitting, then, that they will enter the team's Hall of Fame together.
