Johnny Pesky No. 6 joins the retired numbers by the Red Sox

As you may have seen by now, the Boston Red Sox retired Johnny Pesky’s No. 6 today at Fenway Park. It was a fitting ceremony with a look back at the life and playing career of Pesky along with some words from some former players including Dom DiMaggio, Bobby Doerr, Nomar Garciaparra and  Curt Schilling.

If you missed the ceremony, I’ve got you covered with the video.
