Roman Anthony Gets His First Hit in the Major Leagues: An Unforgettable Family Moment
In an exciting night at Fenway Park, Roman Anthony, the young baseball prospect, celebrated his first hit in the Major Leagues. The Red Sox player hit a two-run double that ignited joy not only on the field, but also in the stands, where his family witnessed the historic moment. Anthony’s call-up from Triple-A was so sudden that his loved ones couldn’t make it in time for his debut. However, the player’s family made sure to be present for the second game, sitting in the front row next to the home dugout.Manager Alex Cora, moved by the scene, watched Anthony’s mother, Lori, visibly emotional. “Being close and seeing the smiles, and also some tears, is great. I know it was a special day for the boy yesterday, but they weren’t here. So having his family now and getting his first hit, that means a lot,” Cora commented. After the match, Anthony shared a special moment with his family on the field, including his father, mother, sister, brother, grandparents, and friends. “That group has been with me every step of the way. Seeing them here, although they unfortunately missed yesterday’s match, is something very special,” Anthony expressed. The young player, who had previously had a debut with a run batted in, hit a double in the first inning, putting the Red Sox up 2-0. In addition to his offensive achievement, Anthony demonstrated his worth on defense with a spectacular catch in the outfield, earning the recognition of his team. Anthony, known for his great potential, had recently caught attention for a 497-foot home run in Triple-A. On the season, he batted .288 with 10 home runs and 29 RBIs in 58 games with the WooSox. According to the data, Anthony became the youngest player in franchise history to record three or more RBIs in his first two games.I didn’t realize they were there until my first at-bat.
