Move over, laundry cart. The Red Sox have a new home-run celebration in place.
Boston showcased its new dugout festivities in the first inning of Friday’s home opener against the Cardinals after Trevor Story and Wilyer Abreu slugged back-to-back home runs.
Story teed off against Cardinals starter Erick Fedde, depositing a belt-high sweeper into the Green Monster seats for a three-run shot — giving Boston a 4-0 lead at the time. Fedde’s very next pitch to Abreu was promptly golfed into right field to make it a 5-0 game.
As Story made his way back to the dugout after his three-run home, Jarren Duran was waiting near the steps with Boston’s new prop: a Wally The Green Monster head.
