The Boston Red Sox will honor Mike Lowell, the MVP of their 2007 World Series victory, before playing the New York Yankees on Oct. 2 at Fenway Park.

The Red Sox have designated the game, ''Thanks, Mike Night.''

The 36-year-old Lowell has been hobbled by injuries and said this month he would retire.

Lowell is in his fifth season with the Red Sox since being acquired from the Florida Marlins. He was the MVP of the '07 Series, when he batted .400 with three doubles and a homer in the four-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies.

Lowell has played a total of 299 games in the last three seasons. He is batting .222 with four homers in 67 games this year.
