The righthander even flexed on his way to the dugout, the veins popping in his neck as the fans at Fenway Park roared. Ottavino uncharacteristically went the full Hulk Hogan for a few seconds after striking out Miami Marlins cleanup hitter Garrett Cooper to leave the bases loaded. “Kind of an out-of-body experience there. Glad I was able to make the pitch and just kind of blacked out,” Ottavino said after the Red Sox finished off a 3-1 victory. Credit an assist to the crowd of 25,089, the largest at Fenway Park since the final game of the 2019 season. “That was awesome. The crowd brought it today. That’s what’s been missing at those two-strike moments at home,” Ottavino said. “Feels like that puts a lot of pressure on the hitter.” On the day Massachusetts rescinded its pandemic protocols, the ballpark was abuzz despite the cold, wet, and windy weather. “A lot of energy out there, a lot of excitement. I know the guys were really feeding off that,” said bench coach Will Venable, who managed the team with Alex Cora attending his daughter’s high school graduation. “A couple of guys came into the dugout and we’re talking about how electric it was.” They have a team worth supporting.

  • Chris Ames Created an Alter Ego Named the World Famous Monkey Boy
    Playing careers are not the only improbable dreams chased in the remote outposts of the minor leagues. In 1998, a young minor league salesman named Chris Ames created an alter ego named The World Famous Monkey Boy. The WFMB was a peanut hurling, Super Soaker toting, break-dancing dynamo in a tattered costume shop bear suit, held together by duct tape and re-purposed to an approximation of the simian form with a cheap plastic monkey mask. Ames developed the character largely through a series of happy accidents. His manic after-hours impersonation of a co-worker caught the attention of Ames’ boss, Billy Johnson, a former minor league mascot himself who was looking for a promotion to liven up the opening weekend debut of his new club, the Nashua Pride. Ames’ day job as the Pride’s ticket sales manager quickly brought him into contact with Ted Giannoulas (The San Diego Chicken) and Dave Raymond (The original Phillie Phanatic), two icons of character-based entertainment who swung through Nashua on their annual summer circuits of the minor leagues. By 2001, Ames was working in software sales, but was not finished with Monkey Boy. Using sick days and vacations, he booked himself as a touring act in minor league ballparks around the country, working up the nerve to dive-in full-time in the spring of 2003. In developing his business, Ames would face many of the same challenges as ballplayers toiling in the minor leagues, battling injuries and balancing his love of entertaining with the priorities of raising a family and making a living.
