RIP Johnny...a great player and a great human. Anyone who doubts his greatness needs to check out his stats from 1942, 1946 and 1947 (btw, the years in between he was in military service). Really fantastic.

I have a throwback 1946 Pesky jersey and I'll wear it in his honour tonight.

Cheers,
Blair

We were lucky to have seen Mr Red Sox at the 100th.

Very sad...a very nice guy...I wonder if they will wrap the Pesky Pole in a black ribbon next home game?

Of course he was involved in one of the most exciting plays in WS history when Slaughter scored from first on a single -- he always claimed he did not hestitate/hold the ball before throwing to the plate.
