BOSTON _ When Jason Bay was introduced during the pregame warmups, the fans here at Fenway Park gave him a standing ovation.
He tipped his cap and continued to stretch out and run sprints.
He made his first plate appearance in the bottom of the second inning and got another huge standing ovation. He acknowledged with a tip of his helmet and a brief wave. The cheering was so loud, he had to step out of the box to gain his composure, before drawing a five-pitch walk.
Again, the fans gave him an ovation. Interesting stuff.
He reached third on a J.D. Drew double before scoring on Jed Lowrie's sacrifice fly to left field to give Boston a 1-0 lead. When Bay crossed home plate, he received another ovation and was given a hero's welcome from his new teammates when he got to the dugout.
