A South Portland man and three of his friends had a night they’ll never forget on Monday at Fenway Park in Boston.
According to Portland television station WGME, CBS 13, Rob Jordan, who attended Monday’s game between the Boston Red Sox and Baltimore Orioles along with Christopher Biskup, Dan Fenway and Connor Hasson, was able to snare a historic home run ball hit by Red Sox’s David Ortiz.
Jordan and his contingent were returning from a sixth-inning run to a concession stand when Ortiz blasted his 536th career home run, tying him with Mickey Mantle for 17th on the major league all-time home run list.
The ball landed in the Orioles’ bullpen and bounced up into the stands, and Jordan was able to come up with it.
In exchange for the ball, the foursome got to meet Ortiz and pose for a picture. Jordan also was given a signed bat.
