Bring on the boos at Yankee Stadium, Joe Kelly doesn’t mind. Just don’t hurl anything at him.
According to Brendan Kuty of NJ.com, the Red Sox setup man is ready to hear the worst from Yankee fans, but he hopes his trip to New York doesn’t get out of hand.
“Maybe I’ll need an umbrella,” Kelly said, via the report. “I hope nothing gets thrown or poured on us.”
The Red Sox open a three-game series against the Yankees in the Bronx beginning Tuesday night. This is the first time the teams have met since the benches-clearing brawl at Fenway Park on April 11.
