Red Sox Give Initial Details About New 2024 Celebration

The Boston Red Sox brought fun vibes to the 2024 season, introducing a new celebration to the game during a 7-3 road trip on the West Coast. During the opening series, players such as Trevor Story were hesitant to share the origin or meaning of their new arm-waving actions on the field and on the base paths. The motion references a “river monster” from a team poker game on Boston's team flights, per MassLive's Chris Cotillo. Specifically, Rafael Devers and Nick Pivetta originally enacted the move, which spread throughout the team.
