JOHNNY PESKY passes away at 92...

What a sad day for the Boston area/Sox fans.
Johnny Pesky passed away today. I had the priviledge of meeting him a couple times, was also at Fenway in a luxury box when they Officially retired his #6 up on right field. He even has the right field foul pole named after him.
For those non-baseball fans, here's some info on Johnny

I'm thinking of a somewhat sanitized Johnny Rotten.
As an Italian mob nickname, it would be something of an insult, no? Here's Vinny the Razor, Carmine the Bullet, Tony Knucks, ... and Johnny the Botherer. cn

Hahahaha...took me a minute...

Hats off to the player who cost Boston the 1946 World Series.

Fuck the Red Socks.

That is all.

He never cost them any World Series. Watch the replay, that ball wasn't even close to being ontime to Pesky for the relay.

All joking aside, he was a very humble man who brought joy to everyone. Just ask Boston.

I fully respect and honor the man, the ball-player, and the WWII veteran.

R.I.P.

The Bosox? Not so much.
