Brock Holt’s first trip to Fenway Park since leaving the Red Sox may not be how he envisioned it.
With only cutout cardboard fans occupying the seats in the Fenway stands this season due to the coronavirus pandemic, Holt wasn’t able to receive a standing ovation that many other players get when they return.
However, the Red Sox still played a tribute video honoring Holt’s seven seasons with the team during their 9-5 win over the Nationals on Sunday.
When the tribute video ended, Holt still acted like the Fenway Faithful were on-hand to give him a warm welcome back and came on the field to tip his cap to the fans.
