2018 inductees wrong
editYour 2018 inductees are incorrect. You omit non-uniformed inductee Alphonso "Al" Green, who has worked for the organization for 44 years, mostly manning the Fan Services information booth. Pumpsie Green was not inducted. Instead, his debut as the team's first black player was designated a "Memorable Red Sox Moment." It might be argued that the prejudice Pumpsie had to endure merits him a place in the Hall, but that would also apply to the Red Sox' second black player, pitcher Earl Wilson, who made his debut exactly one week after Green. Wilson certainly couldn't've had an easier time of it, could he? Thus the team commemorated the event, not the individuals. 108.49.32.70 (talk) 22:22, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
