Johnny Pesky, World War II vet and former Boston Red Sox infielder, manager, and colour commentator died on Monday at the age of 93.
Pesky had been associated with the Red Sox organization in one way or another for an incredible 61 years, his number 6 was retired by the organization and the right field foul pole at Boston’s Fenway Park is named “Pesky’s Pole” in his honour.
To commemorate the impact Pesky had on the Boston Red Sox the team has announced they will wear a patch on their home and home alternate jerseys for the remainder of the 2012 season.
Johnny Pesky black memorial armband below the Fenway 100 patch, worn on road uniform only
The patch will be a two-inch black circle with Pesky’s #6 in white. A simple memorial armband will be worn on their road uniforms, presumably because the road uniform already contains patches on both arms.

Wednesday, August 15, 2012 at 12:40I actually just did an article for theScore.com where I talk about memorial patches (it'll be published at 2pm), you'd be surprised the amount of memorial patches worn in 2011 vs 2012
