COMMENTARY
I’m hard pressed to imagine a team coming off a 17-1 victory who’ll get a more convoluted reaction than the Red Sox will on Friday at Fenway Park.
It’s Mookie night. Hope you have your Apple sign-in ready.
Carlton Fisk’s first Fenway game with the White Sox came immediately after his departure, on Opening Day 1981. The home crowd’s response was mixed, turning only to cheers after the hometown hero won it for the visitors, and the stakes were low.
It’s the only thing that pops to mind as nearly comparable, yet it’s still not all that close.
