Watch: Red Sox greats return to Fenway in different jerseys for Savannah Bananas game
The sold-out Fenway crowd went bananas as Jonathan Papelbon, Mitch "2-bags" Moreland, Jonny Gomes, and Bill "Spaceman" Lee each made appearances in yellow Saturday.
Three Red Sox champions and a Red Sox Hall of Fame pitcher returned to Fenway Park on Saturday night — just in different jerseys.
Jonathan Papelbon, Mitch “2-bags” Moreland, Jonny Gomes, and Bill “Spaceman” Lee each made appearances in yellow, either taking the mound or the batter box for the Savannah Bananas.
Papelbon, who was recently inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame, was a four-time All-Star during his time with the Red Sox, as well as a member of the 2007 World Series championship team.
The relief pitcher took the mound as “Shipping Up to Boston” by the Dropkick Murphys played, and the sold-out Fenway Park crowd cheered wildly.
Moreland and Gomes, who also earned World Series titles with the Red Sox, took at-bats for the Bananas.
Earlier in the game, Lee, who helped pitch the Red Sox into the 1975 World Series (which the team lost to the Cincinnati Reds in Game 7) and was later inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame, returned to the mound, as well.
