Quincy police in Massachusetts found something peculiar while raiding a suspected drug dealer’s home on Tuesday, according to the Associated Press (via ESPN.com). Among paraphernalia and evidence, a stolen Red Sox 2004 World Series ring was found in the home.
After watching the home for months and witnessing a drug deal on Tuesday, police then moved in by executing a search warrant.
Capt. John Dougan told the AP that oxycodone pills, $9,000 cash, money-counting machines and the ring were found during the raid.
Fox 25 Boston showed what police found. The ring can be seen in a small box in front of the money-counting machine:
The ring belongs to a team employee, and Dougan is unsure of how this man came to possess it.
Boston ended an 86-year World Series drought in 2004, improbably overcoming a 3-0 deficit against the New York Yankees in the American League Championship by winning the proceeding four games. The Red Sox then swept the St. Louis Cardinals to exorcise any curses that might have beleaguered the team for 8.5 decades.
The man who resides in the house and the two men who allegedly dealt pills are expected to appear in court on Wednesday.
