April 23, 2007
A 2004 Boston Red Sox World Championship ring is on auction on eBay, and as of this morning the bidding was near $16,000.
According to the posting, the ring was given to Cucho Rodriguez, a former team scout based in Puerto Rico. The ring contains 45 diamonds with a total weight of 1.89 carats, according to the eBay posting, and is cast in 18-carat white gold.
"The ring is the exact same ring that players such as Manny Ramirez, Curt Schilling, David Ortiz, Tim Wakefield, Jason Varitek, Pedro Martinez, and Johnny Damon received," reads the posting. "This particular ring was given to a Red Sox Scout. It comes with the elegant display box that is beautifully designed to house the ring. It also comes with the official certificate of appraisal detailing the qualities of the jewels that make up this wonderfully designed ring."

Did anyone find out if this was the same ring the players were awarded? You mentioned there were ABCD grades but it was undetermined whether this scout has the top shelf ring.
