Red Sox Notes: Andrew Benintendi’s Insane Catch Was Years In The Making
The legend of Andrew Benintendi is growing by the day. The 22-year-old outfielder has garnered a few local headlines with his play since getting promoted straight from Double-A Portland to the Boston Red Sox. But he burst into the national spotlight Monday night against the Tampa Bay Rays, making a ridiculous catch to rob Steven Souza Jr. of a sure home run in one of the best plays you’ll see this season.

I told you guys I was going to do it.” He won his record-setting third straight title in track’s featured event and his seventh Olympic

Victor Martinez: Red Sox ‘Made Me Feel Like I Played 10 Years Here’
Share this: When you think of how much Red Sox fans liked Victor Martinez, it’s easy to forget he played in Boston for fewer than two seasons. V-Mart was back at Fenway Park this week while the Detroit Tigers played a three-game series against the Red Sox, and the first baseman recalled fond memories of his time in Boston before Wednesday’s game. “I only played here a year, a year and two months I think, but at the same time, they made me feel like I played 10 years here,” Martinez told NESN’s Guerin Austin. “It’s something that I really appreciate, the fans, the organization, they treat me and my family first-class. And that’s something that I’m always going to appreciate.” Hear more from Martinez
