The father, wearing a pink T-shirt and a red cap, tried to stop him but to no avail. The young man’s brother seemed to be in disbelief as their pleasant afternoon outing took a wild turn.
Fortunately, the Red Sox stepped in to make sure the family didn’t go home unhappy. The organization reportedly gave the group a signed Kenley Jansen jersey and a new baseball.
