In Memoriam: John Michael Paveskovich
Better known as Johnny Pesky. Read Mark Feeney’s obituary in the Boston Globe and Bill Nowlin’s SABR article on the beloved shortstop. Not just a baseball player but an adoring husband and father and World War II veteran of the Navy. His number six was the first and only number retired by the Red Sox of someone who was not enshrined in the Hall of Fame at Cooperstown.
He will be greatly missed.
