Johnny Pesky pole

add more info?? "The Boston Red Sox renamed the right-field foul pole in honor of former player and coach Johnny Pesky before Wednesday's game against the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.

Pesky, a 56-year member of the organization, was honored on his 87th birthday with an on-field ceremony. He threw out the ceremonial first pitch to pitcher Tim Wakefield.

For years, many have referred to the pole as "Pesky's Pole" when batters have hit homers down the short right-field line, where the pole stands 302 feet away."

I found a pic for him and put in an infobox. However it still needs a reliable debut and final game dates. Quadzilla99 04:58, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
