In spring training, John Middleton promised the Phillies’ NL ring would be a sight to see. Unveiled Sunday, the 14-karat white gold rings have 668 gemstones, including 419 diamonds, 152 rubies, and 97 sapphires.
John Middleton slipped the Phillies’ 1980 World Series ring on his index finger. He placed the 2008 World Series ring, more diamond-studded than its antecedent and larger by a magnitude, on his middle finger.
During the process, Jason Arasheben, CEO of Jason of Beverly Hills, sent Middleton a copy of a Los Angeles Rams’ Super Bowl ring that was actually smaller than the jewelry the Phillies were designing. But Arasheben noted that it was the Rams’ “Level 3″ ring. There were two other versions, including the one received by the players, that were larger than the Phillies’ model.
And in the most poignant moment of the ceremony, Rhys Hoskins emerged from the dugout on crutches, but in full uniform, his surgically reconstructed left knee in a brace, and accepted his ring, an embrace from Middleton, and an ovation from the announced crowd of 39,129. “And I’m not really an emotional person,” Thomson said. “But watching Rhys come out and get the ovation he got, yeah, for a guy who’s been around here for as long as he has and gone through some tough times and has done a lot in this city to help people, it was a great moment.”
