The 2018 World Series has so far been picturesque both on and off the field. Through two Red Sox wins in Boston, fans been treated to iconic photos likes Andrew Benintendi’s leaping catch and multiple rainbows appearing over Fenway Park.
Yet before Game 1, one serendipitously captured moment stood out. It happened during a pregame thunderstorm as lightning danced above the Boston skyline.
Local photographer Matthew MacPherson had a hunch.
“I was walking home after shooting the sunset on the Common, and as I approached Kenmore Square, I saw the lightning coming,” MacPherson explained.
