"Lester was a key piece to multiple Red Sox World Series-winning teams, helping them win it all in 2007 and 2013. He posted a 1.93 ERA over three appearances in the 2007 postseason before serving as the ace for the 2013 World Series ballclub, logging an impressive 1.56 ERA in five starts that October. On top of his postseason dominance, Lester etched himself as one of the greatest pitchers in Red Sox history."
"The Red Sox are set to honor a few players who helped the franchise win a World Series in a big way. Jon Lester, Johnny Damon, and Mike Timlin will be inducted into the Red Sox' Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026, the team announced Saturday. Former Red Sox public address announcer Sherm Feller will also be inducted as the non-uniformed inductee."
