Baseballs 100th World Series saw the Sox complete a four-game sweep of the Cardinals to win it all for the first time in 86 long and frustrating seasons. This magnificent 2004 Boston Red Sox World Championship size 13-1/4 ring was presented to pitching coach Tony Cloninger. Cast in 18K white gold the top of the ring features a perimeter channel containing 56 round brilliant cut diamonds. Inside this diamond bezel is "World Champions" in relief on a black background. Centered on the top of the ring is an inlaid Boston Red Sox "B" in 10 custom cut and fitted rubies over four round brilliant cut diamonds which are themselves over 14 princess cut diamonds in the shape of a baseball diamond. This baseball diamond is set on a field of four custom faceted synthetic blue sapphires. On the left shank is "Greatest Comeback In History 2004" in relief on a black background. Beneath this is a pair of red enameled Boston Red Sox "socks" and beneath that an engraved banner that reads "8 Straight." On the right shank is a panel with the recipient's name CLONINGER in relief on a black background.
