Giancarlo Stanton crushed his 38th home run of the season. A lucky Red Sox fan on top of the Green Monster corralled the ball. Then, forgetting he was at Fenway and not Wrigley, the man pulled a Henry Rowengartner. His above-average toss clipped Stanton as the slugger rounded second.
There’s a good chance ol’ rocket arm there will get in some hot water for the incident. But hey, he has a conversation starter for the rest of his life.
