The auction will include more than 200 items from Pesky’s career with the Red Sox as well as from his time serving in the Navy during World War II.
Among the items up for bid are a pair of World Series rings Pesky received from the 2004 and 2007 championship teams along with his American League championship rings from 1946, 1975 and 1986.
Pesky’s son, David, told WBZ NewsRadio 1030’s Carl Stevens that his father kept many of the items stored in boxes in his basement.
Pesky was with the Red Sox in various roles from his days as a player in the 1940s until the 2000s when he was a coach, mentor and living legend.
