Answer: Carlton Fisk

He wore the number 27 before signing with the Chicago White Sox as a free agent. He wore number 72 for Chicago.
2. Who was the last person to wear #1 for the Red Sox before it was retired in honor of Bobby Doerr?

Answer: John McNamara

'Johnny Mac' managed for six different teams, the Red Sox, Padres, Athletics, Reds, Indians, and the Angels (twice). He won 1160 game and lost 1233 for a .485 winning percentage.
3. Which player wore uniform #82 for the Red Sox in 1943?

Answer: Johnny Lazor

Lazor (an outfielder) wore #82 in 1943. Lucier (a pitcher) wore #81, also in 1943. Martinez (a pitcher) wore #67 in 2004. Crawford (a pitcher) wore #63 in 2000 and 2001.
4. What player wore #3 for the Red Sox during the 2004 season?

Answer: Pokey Reese

Reese wore #3 and has played second base and shortstop for the Sox. Nomar wore #5 and traded to the Chicago Cubs in 2004, Nixon wore #7 and played right field, and Mueller wore #11 and played second base and third base.
5. Who was the last person to wear #4 for the Red Sox before it was retired in honor of Joe Cronin?

Answer: Carney Lansford

Lansford won a batting title in 1981, and finished second in 1979.
6. Who was the last player to wear #42 for the Red Sox?

Answer: Mo Vaughn

All these players wore #42 for at least part of their career in Boston, but Vaughn wore the number (from 1991-1998) even after MLB had retired it to honor Jackie Robinson. This is the reason that the Red Sox (or any other team) cannot use this number any longer.
7. Benny Agbayani wore the number 50 for the Red Sox as well as with other teams, to honor the fact that he is from Hawaii, the 50th US State.

Answer: True

Agbayani had always paid tribute to his Hawaiian heritage with his uniform number. It helps that it is not a tremendously popular number to begin with.
8. Not including 42, what are the first five Boston Red Sox uniform numbers that have been retired?

Answer: 1, 4, 8, 9, and 27

#1 is for Bobby Doerr, #4 for Joe Cronin, #8 for Carl Yastrzemski, #9 for Ted Williams, and #27 for Carlton Fisk.
9. Who wore #5 just before Nomar Garciaparra?

Answer: Scott Fletcher

Fletcher (a utility infielder) wore #5 in 1993-04, Perez (a first baseman) wore #5 from 1980-1982, Buckner (a first baseman) wore #6, #16, and #22 with the Sox, and Lyons (a utility player) wore #7, #12, #19, and #31 with the Sox.
10. From 1931 until it's retirement in 1988, someone has worn #1 for the Red Sox in every season.

Answer: False

No one wore #1 in 1973. 27 players have worn this number for the Red Sox including Hall of Famers Bobby Doerr (OF), George Kell (primarily 3B), as well as World Series hero Bernie Carbo, manager John McNamara, and many more.
