Roman Anthony’s MLB Debut: RBI Groundout Sparks Questions Despite Hitless Night for Red Sox
After getting the promotion, Anthony had time to call his parents and siblings and an old baseball coach and gather most of his equipment — his own glove, a single bat and a borrowed pair of cleats — before driving down the MassPike to Boston. He arrived in Boston a few hours before game time and by 7:30 p.m. he was taking aim at the historic red seat that marks Ted Williams’ 502-foot homer that is the longest ever at Fenway Park.
“It happened quick. I think no matter when that call comes, nobody’s really expecting it,” he said before the game. “Obviously a little bit of a short notice. But, you know, better than being on the bus to Lehigh Valley right now.”
