Dustin Pedroia’s pre-game celebration Friday night truly had a little bit of everything.
A red-carpet walk-in, and a roaring crowd that took full advantage of the fully open Fenway Park to show their appreciation for the longtime fan-favorite.
Video montages from former manager Terry Francona, his college coach Pat Murphy, and former Red Sox TV voice Dan Orsillo that had Pedroia wiping his eyes frequently.
He even got a visit from wrestling legend Ric Flair, who strolled out of the center field tunnel sporting an absurdly large title belt and giving the crowd his signature “Woo” after embracing the guest of honor.
