Lost Red Sox World Series ring found and returned by Yankees fan

A lost Red Sox World Series ring is back on the finger of its owner, thanks to an ardent Yankees fan.

Manhattan restaurant owner Luigi Militello found the 2013 championship ring -- complete with rubies, diamonds and sapphires set in 14-carat white gold -- on a restroom sink at his Luke's Bar and Grill on Thursday night.

"I was like, geez, it's big. Who would leave this here?" said Militello, who would not accept a reward. "I'm a big Yankee fan. What are the chances of this happening?"

The ring belongs to Drew Weber, who ate at the restaurant. Weber owns the Red Sox's Class-A Lowell Spinners and was awarded a ring.

The Red Sox haven't put a value on the ring, but one from their 2004 championship is worth about $30,000.

"The ring and Drew Weber have learned their lesson," he said. "That ring is going on no more road trips." -- AP
