Johnny Michael “Mr Red Sox” Pesky Is No Longer In The Game - Saturday 27 September 1919 To Monday 13 August 2012

“Watching the MLB.COM home opener right now -- when Johnny Pesky said "Play Ball", I got the chills! So great to see them playing again!!”

– Nora O’Brien, fan, Tuesday 10 April 2007

“Johnny Pesky was my personal hitting instructor. Don Zimmer, the manager at the time, told Pesky to stay with me day and night. Pesky took me under his wing and, when I was still a kid, kept me grounded, and we could always talk. And he is still with me today.”

- Jim Rice, player, Sunday 26 July 2009
