Everyone on the field sat down for a round table discussion about Pesky, with each player telling their favorite Pesky story or memory. After, they each placed a rose on Pesky's number six on the infield and signed the famous Pesky's Pole in right field.
Pesky, who died August 13 at the age of 93, spent more than 60 years with the Red Sox organization.
