Wait... Royce Clayton got a ring?

I watched the ring ceremony on NESN's Website... and it was great seeing all the Sox getting their rings and knowing that no matter what happens in their career, they are champs.

And then there is Royce Clayton.
Seriously? Royce Clayton.

The guy played 8 games for the Sox.
He started one.
And he didn't play his first game until September 6th.

And yet he gets his ring.

His biggest claim to fame was being the guy that Jim Morris struck out in his debut game... a strike out later recreated in The Rookie

I wanted to include a picture of him in a Red Sox uniform, but I couldn't find one on the internet.

Best I can do is repost his "I didn't get my Taco!" rant.
Maybe that's worth a ring
