BOSTON -- As he sat on an overturned bucket, Rob Daigle knew what was coming. Hanley Ramirez had a bucket of icy water in his hands, and it was about to end up all over him.
So when Ramirez decided to douse both himself and Daigle, laughing as the water dripped off his dreads, the 50-year-old Newburyport, Mass., resident was caught off guard.
"I didn't expect him to do what he did, so that was pretty cool," Daigle said afterwards. "I was very appreciative."
For the Red Sox, the month of August ended the same way it began: With members of the team participating in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge at Fenway park.
