Even without Public Relations guru Dr. Charles Steinberg (now with the LA Dodgers), the Red Sox still know how to put on a party at Fenway. The Sox returned home yesterday to recieve their 2007 World Series rings in front of Red Sox Nation and even the weather was great. Where else but opening day at Fenway could you see Boston sports legends Bobby Orr, Johnny Bucyk, John Havlicek, and Bill Russell walking side by side.
Another nice moment came when after two World Series titles, Red Sox Nation forgave Bill Buckner and allowed him to throw out the first pitch. However, the most sincere moment came when David Ortiz helped Johnny Pesky raise the 2007 World Series flag. Two great Red Sox ambassadors, 50 years apart. Afterwards all the players hugged Pesky and you could hear a tearful Johhny saying good-bye as if he knows this could be his last year.
