WATCH: Daniel Nava gets hit by a piece of his broken bat

Found October 28, 2013 on The Awesome Boston:
PLAYERS: Daniel Nava
TEAMS: Boston Red Sox
A.B. Scary stuff for Red Sox outfielder, Daniel Nava, in the top of the 4th inning of 2013 World Series game 6. While connecting (for an out) on a pitch from Cardinals Ace, Adam Wainwright, Nava’s bat shattered (and exploded) with a large piece hitting Nava on the right side of his neck. Nava was seen in the Red Sox dugout between innings being looked at by trainers, but remained in the lineup. In the top of the 6th inning while on deck (before Gomes struck out), a small cut was visible on Nava’s neck without any sign of blood or bandaging.

Lil' Lester is Freaking Adorable

Via Fenway Refugees  |  October 29, 2013
All the Red Sox fans in the world can tell Jon Lester that he played a great game last night, but does anyone's opinion matter more than that of Lil' Lester? Lester's adorable son Hudson joined him for the post-game press conference last night and was so cute that nobody was listening to what Lester actually had to say. I'd say he stole the show, but Lester...

Middlebrooks And 'Cask' Team Up For Charity

If you grew up around Boston (or just infested the area from New York to attend college), chances are you were a frequent patron of the legendary Cask 'n Flagon near Fenway. Now, Will Middlebrooks is giving you a reason to go back—a new sandwich with slow-cooked BBQ brisket, Gouda cheese, and mac and cheese on country white bread.

Jonny Gomes Said in Spring Training That Sox Were ‘One Day Closer to the Parade,’ Predicted He’d ‘Shine’ Sunday

Via NESN.com  |  October 28, 2013
Jonny Gomes is that guy who scares everyone to death by predicting victories — but with Gomes, it always seems to end with champagne and an Army helmet. As teammate Ryan Dempster tells it, Gomes has been predicting things since he joined the Red Sox, and Sunday night — when he found himself back in the starting lineup after Shane Victorino was scratched with injury — he was...

David Ross ‘Pretty Impressed’ by Game 5 Paper Airplane, Says ‘That Was a Nice Throw’

Via NESN.com  |  October 29, 2013
David Ross was in awe of everything when he stepped up to the podium after Game 5 of the World Series. He was in awe of being in the World Series, being behind the plate for Jon Lester’s gem and being the guy to drive in the game-winning run. Oh yeah, and there was that whole paper airplane thing. A fan threw a paper airplane onto the field with two outs in the seventh inning of...

Lester Catapults Red Sox To Verge Of Title, 3-1

He becomes only the second Red Sox lefty to have three World Series wins—the other guy was somebody named Babe Ruth. The victory moved The Carmine Hose to within one win of...

Give credit to Clay Buchholz

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  October 28, 2013

Drew Comes With Too Much Risk For Mets
