The 2018 Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame class is loaded with players who played key roles on championship teams.
The team announced on Thursday that Kevin Youkilis, Mike Lowell, and Derek Lowe are among the next inductees into the franchise Hall of Fame. Next year’s class also features Buck Freeman, who led the Red Sox to their first World Series title in 1903.
Youkilis made his big league debut as a part-time player for the 2004 championship team. By 2006 he was an everyday player for the Red Sox and went on to make three All-Star appearances in parts of nine seasons with the team.
