The unveileing of # 6 on the wall will take place in an opening ceremony during the Yankee series

[26 to 6]

Good. Long overdue, IMO.

I knew this was going to happen eventually. I'm glad it is.

It was basically retired already, but nice to have it up there.

The article says they'll probably change the restrictions on the retired numbers, so I'd expect others to added in addition to Pesky.

Awesome. Oh and PS I will be at Sunday's game. Maybe I can trade tickets and go Friday to see the ceremony.

I agree. I've always thought Rice should be up there.
