In honor of the late Johnny Pesky, the Boston Red Sox will wear his retired uniform No. 6 in tonight's game against the Los Angeles Angels.

The jerseys will then be auctioned off for the Jimmy Fund.

The Red Sox also plan to hold a tribute for Pesky before the game and a moment of silence will be observed in his honor.

The Red Sox icon passed away Aug. 13 at age 92.

Tonight's game is Boston's first home game since Pesky died. They had been on a 10-day road trip.

In what will be an emotional scene, Pesky's son, David Pesky, will be escorted to the mound by former Red Sox player Jerry Remy and throw out the first pitch.

Pesky spent 61 years with the Boston franchise as a player, coach, manager and broadcaster.

He was laid to rest Monday in Swampscott, Mass., in a private ceremony.
