the red sox were presented with their world series rings on april 11, 2005, at a ceremony before the team's first home game of the 2005 season. former red sox players bobby doerr, dom dimaggio, johnny pesky, and carl yastrzemski were all present, as were the boston symphony orchestra and the boston pops orchestra. during the ceremony, five red pennants were first unfurled at the top of the green monster, showing the years of each of the red sox' previous world series wins. a much larger banner was unfurled that covered the entire wall and read "2004 world series champions". james taylor, himself a boston native and a red sox fan, performed "america the beautiful", and 19 members of the united states army and marine corps who had fought in the iraq war walked onto the field. moments of silence were held to honor the deaths of pope john paul ii, who had died nine days earlier, and former red sox relief pitcher, dick radatz. the rings were handed out by the team's owner, john w. henry. former red sox players lowe and dave roberts, who had joined the los angeles dodgers and san diego padres respectively during the off-season, were also present to collect their rings. the ceremony, which lasted around an hour, ended with stars from other boston sports teams, including the celtics' bill russell, the bruins' bobby orr and the patriots' tedy bruschi and richard seymour, throwing ceremonial first pitches. the presence of bruschi and seymour made evident the recent success of boston-area teams. the day after the red sox won the series, shaughnessy and the rest of the news media said of the red sox home opener: "the team in the third-base dugout? the new york yankees, sweet." in a sign of respect, the red sox rivals came to the top step of the visitors dugout and gave the red sox a standing ovation. the fenway park crowd burst into cheers when yankees pitcher mariano rivera was introduced, breaking from the tradition of fans booing opposing players, due to him having blown save opportunities in games 4 and 5 of the 2004 alcs. rivera was a good sport about it and laughed while waving his arms in mock appreciation of the fans.
