The Boston Red Sox Ball Girl

The Boston Red Sox are a professional baseball team based in Boston, Massachusetts. They are members of the American League East division of Major League Baseball. As the name suggests, the club plays in the storied city of Fenway Park, which was previously referred to as “Red Caps.” Although the team was founded in 1901, it wasn’t until 2002 that the team merged with New England Sports Ventures, an investment firm. A re-branding exercise saw the team become known as the “Red Sox.” In addition to their home base in Boston, they play in Milwaukee, Atlanta, and Washington, DC.

If you’ve watched any of the Boston Red Sox’s games in recent years, you’ve probably spotted the ball girl. For the most part, they’re unassuming creatures, but their presence has been a source of a few memorable moments. One in particular came in the form of a live ball that the girl tossed in the air. Unfortunately, it didn’t make it out of the park, but she was able to salvage the day for the ground crew.

Another notable incident involved a young fan named Ryan. He was watching the team play at Fenway Park when something of the ilk occurred. His mother, who was also a huge baseball fan, told him to do the right thing. Of course, that right thing wasn’t exactly clear cut. But the fact that she said it in front of a crowd at Fenway Park made it all the more impressive.

The ball girl’s name is Haley King. Her claim to fame isn’t actually fielding a live ball, but her ability to pass a successful catch to a lucky fan. She may not be the most talented player on the field, but her performance has garnered much acclaim.

Not to be outdone, the Red Sox’s mascot, Wally the Green Monster, has also gained some traction. While he’s certainly a lovable rascal, his sexiest moment came in Game Six of the ALCS. After a rough first two innings, the youngster put on a show and won the fans over with a pitch that sounded more like a song than a pitch.

It’s no secret that the Red Sox have a devoted fan base in the Northeast, and many of them are eager to see the team play in the World Series in 2014. You’re sure to find a seat to watch the series’ final four, which will begin in Cleveland on September 2. Also, check out the Red Sox’s latest line of merchandise. This includes the aforementioned ball girl T-shirt, as well as a mug and a bracelet. These items are perfect for any young fan, whether they’re in the market for a new outfit or just want to add a bit of whimsy to their wardrobe.

The ball girl’s name is just one of a multitude of homages to the team’s rich history. Fans can also experience the magic first hand by heading to Fenway Park for Game Six of the 2013 ALCS.
