When the ball boy became a hero
In 1982, a line drive foul ball hit a four-year-old boy in the head at Fenway Park. Hall of Fame outfielder Jim Rice, realizing in a flash that it would take EMTs too long to arrive, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy. He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him. When the boy arrived at the hospital 30 minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life. Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform. Later, after visiting the boy in the hospital, Jim stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him.
@historyinmemes It's cool he got to meet the team after it, they clearly knew he was responsible for that goal
@historyinmemes I thought you had to be neutral to take that roll.
@historyinmemes he must have felt like superman after that
@historyinmemes The assist shouldve been given to the ball boy!
