I shook hands with a baseball legend!

[SoxFan]

At tonights game between the New Hampshire Fisher Cats and the Connecticut Defenders, I shook hands with a baseball legend: Johnny Pesky!

Johnny Pesky was the shortstop for the 1946 AL Champion Red Sox, and has served the ball club as a player, coach, manager, instructor, and broadcaster. Some of my earliest sports memories are of watching Pesky call Sox games with my father and grandfather on Channel 4 out of Boston.

This is the guy who played with Ted Williams and taught Jim Rice and Nomar Garciaparra. He IS baseball history. I'm still excited about having had just a few seconds with him!

1. Cool for you.

Someone should acknowledge your good experience before it slips off to page 3 oblivion.

I only vaguely remember his name. I do remember seeing Ted Williams play.
