...what would it be?
I'd go with #24 for both Dwight Evans and Manny Ramirez. Dewey played 19 seasons with the Red Sox and is easily one of the greatest players in franchise history (5th all-time in WAR behind Ted, Yaz, Boggs, and Clemens). And while Manny wasn't in Boston nearly as long, he still provided the Sox with 7.5 seasons of elite hitting and played a major role in two World Series titles. I don't think there's a player more deserving between the two, I think both are very deserving. And it's not easy to go with a number other than #21 (Roger Clemens) or #15 (Dustin Pedroia)
