a classy guy. Good for the Sox.

I'm really glad the Sox had the foresight to do this while Pesky can enjoy it . . . unlike what happened with Buck O'Neil.

the HOF still hasn't fixed that mistake

(or has it?)

What a great ambassador for the game and history of baseball

No, but they did give him a statue.

Buck O'Neil honored

This is GREAT news! There was a very nice article on him in the Herald today talking about how stats dont always judge what a player has brought to the organization and if anyone has dedicated himself to the Boston Red Sox its Johnny Pesky. Congrats to a great man and the Red Sox for doing the right thing.

nice, but overall, that really, really blows. He deserves to be in the HOF

"but overall, that really, really blows. He deserves to be in the HOF "

agreed,
O'Neil should have been inducted prior to his death.
