His occupation over the course of his professional life has been that of a baseball player, a role in which he accumulated a substantial record of individual recognition. He was selected as a Major League Baseball All-Star on multiple occasions and received the Silver Slugger Award, the Hank Aaron Award, the Edgar Martínez Award, the Babe Ruth Award, and the League Championship Series Most Valuable Player Award, in addition to the World Series Most Valuable Player honor. He also received the Roberto Clemente Award, which recognizes a player's contributions both on the field and in the community.

His induction into that body, combined with his place in the Boston Red Sox Hall of Fame, marks the concrete endpoints of a career that produced recognition at both the organizational and the sport-wide level.
