Shane Victorino gives teary goodbye to Boston after being traded (Video)

Scrappy outfielder Shane Victorino punched his ticket to Boston immortality with his conquests during the 2013 MLB Postseason. Victorino was a crucial contributor that year, helping the Red Sox capture the World Series in an unforgettable run just months after the Boston Marathon bombing. A go-ahead grand slam in the ALCS against the Tigers that wound up winning the pennant. A bases-clearing triple off The Green Monster to open up the scoring in a closeout World Series Game 6. And of course, countless unforgettable walk-ups to Bob Marley’s “Three Little Birds.”

Though he only spent less than three seasons with the team, Victorino will forever be a beloved figure in the eyes of the Fenway faithful.
