The decades-long friendship of Red Sox greats Ted Williams, Bobby Doerr, Dom DiMaggio and Johnny Pesky was immortalized in David Halberstam’s classic “The Teammates: Portrait of a Friendship.”

On June 9, 2010 at Fenway Park, the camaraderie and bond between between the four longtime teammates was paid homage in another way. The team unveiled a statue dedicated to the four Red Sox Hall of Famers (Williams and Doerr are enshrined in Cooperstown) located outside of Gate B at the intersection of Van Ness and Ipswich Streets.
We’re here today to honor four great men, four teammates whose contributions to the Red Sox, and the legacy and lore of the Red Sox cannot be overstated,” said Red Sox president and CEO Larry Lucchino. “Their given names were Robert Pershing Doerr, Dominic Paul DiMaggio, John Michael Pesky, and Theodore Samuel Williams. You cannot think of one without thinking of the other almost automatically. To most of us their known simply as Ted and Dom and Johnny and Bobby…”
“In civic life, and certainly in the world of baseball, a grateful community, a grateful Red Sox Nation can perhaps do no more than to show its appreciation, its gratitude, its respect than erect a statue. That is certainly true in the world of baseball. And this statue we hope conveys to you that sense of respect, and honor, and appreciation we have for all that you have done. This is the most sincere form of gratitude Red Sox Nation can bestow on you. And we bestow it on you also not just because of your playing ethics, your playing accomplishments, and your social commitment but also because of the years and years you’ve devoted to this franchise.”
The plaque on the statue reads:

They came to Boston from the West Coast — 2B Bobby Doerr from Los Angeles Calif. in 1937; LF Ted Williams from San Diego, Calif. in 1939; CF Dominic DiMaggio from San Francisco in 1940; and SS Johnny Pesky from Portland, Ore. in 1942.
They were Red Sox teammates for seven seasons, but best friends for a lifetime. In total, they played for the Red Sox for 52 seasons and have over 150 years of service with the Red Sox organization.
They served their country in World War II, a total of 11 years.
They led the Red Sox to a record of 653 wins vs. 424 losses for a .606 pct. during their time together.
They sparked the Red Sox to 104 wins and the American League championship in 1946.
They were American League All-Star selections 36 times.
They were masters of their positions on the field.
They are all in the Red Sox Hall of Fame, and Ted and Bobby are also in the National Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.

They left an unmatched legacy in Red Sox history.
