Schilling, Burks, Barrett Headed To Sox HOF

Curt Schilling, Ellis Burks and Marty Barrett lead a class of seven into the Red Sox Hall Of Fame for 2012. The induction ceremony at Fenway Park will take place on August 3rd before a game against the Minnestoa Twins. A total of 81 inductees reside in the Red Sox Hall and the aforementioned players will be joined by former Sox owner John I. Taylor, right-handed pitcher Joe Dobson, left-hander "Dutch" Leonard and hallowed groundskeeper Joe Mooney.
Taylor's induction is particularly noteworthy in this Fenway Centennial year, since he was responsible for building the "new" ballpark back in 1912.
