The event featured display cases exhibiting notable Pittsfield baseball history — including a 1997 Pittsfield Mets Championship Ring.
 
Pittsfield Police are investigating the theft and posted on Facebook how the community can help get it back. 
 
That includes reporting any suspicious activity noticed around the display cases; watching for any rings matching the ring's description on Facebook Marketplace, eBay or local pawn shops; and sharing the Facebook post so more people see it.
