Here’s another shot captured by an Associated Press photographer:
Fans atop the left field wall try to catch a two-run home run by Boston Red Sox’s Rafael Devers during the first inning of the team’s baseball game against the Chicago White Sox.
Some Twitter users thought the scene resembled a work of Renaissance art, while others drew similar comparisons to paintings by Norman Rockwell. With 11 individuals captured in the Herald‘s frame, the variety and hilarity of their distinct facial expressions led many to have a field day with the mayhem.
According to WEEI’s Rob Bradford, the 12-year-old boy in the red hat ultimately took home the prized possession.
