  1. First pitch by Eli Manning....in recognition for his efforts to keep the BoSox the unquestioned top team in town.

  1. It's going to be Ted Williams. He is going to be unfrozen so he can throw out the first pitch.

    on a serious note, Jordan Leandre

  1. My guess (or hope) is that it will be Johnny Pesky. I hope that after the ring ceremony the Red Sox finally retire his number and then let him throw out the first pitch.

  1. Nomah!!!!

  1. why would they retire Peky's number? He sucked....and plus, he played what, 7 season in Boston? Big deal.....just because he is old and has stories about Ted Williams doesn't make him great
