The Boston Red Sox are bringing another one of their World Series heroes back home.
Former closer Keith Foulke confirmed via Twitter that he is joining the Red Sox as a player-development consultant, working with relief pitchers at the minor league level.
The 43-year old spent three seasons in Boston, notching 47 saves and posting a 3.73 ERA in a Red Sox uniform. His brilliance in 2004, when he saved 32 games to go along with a 2.17 ERA, was a key component in Boston’s first World Series title in 86 years.
