This video was played before today’s Kansas City Royals-Boston Red Sox game. There were Boston and Watertown Police officers, FBI, Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick and Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis. They all received heartfelt applause from the crowd.
And there was this video put together by the Red Sox to Jeff Buckley’s “Hallelujah” and after it was done, there was not a dry eye in the house. Unfortunately, NESN cut away from it several times to show reaction from the crowd. So thanks to the Red Sox and MLB, we have the video in its entirety.
And then David Ortiz charged up the crowd with his F-bomb proclaiming Boston as “our f**king City!” Classic Big Papi.
Overall, a great pregame ceremony.
