dcat wishes a
happy 88th birthday to Sox legend Johnny Pesky.
Arguably no one embodies the Red Sox more than Pesky, who is in his 55th season of being affiliated with the Sox. The right-field foul pole is named after him. He was best friends with Ted Williams.
He still hits fungoes to the guys before games and he still has a uniform, even though curmudgeonly MLB officials won't let him on the bench during games. The current Red Sox players love him.
2004's championship was his reward as much as anyone's. Here's hoping that he gets to see his beloved Red Sox win another one this year.

Here here. I raised a glass for Johnny!
You are not just a good liberal, you are clearly a good human being.
