Thirteen Years Later, Red Sox Still Celebrate Patriots' Day with Those Special 'Boston' Home Jerseys
The special white home jersey replaced “Red Sox” with “Boston” after the 2013 bombings and has become a Patriots’ Day tradition.
- On Monday, the Boston Red Sox wore white jerseys emblazoned with "Boston" across the front, continuing their annual Patriots' Day tradition at Fenway Park to honor the city.
- Thirteen years ago, the Boston Red Sox returned to the field five days after the Boston Marathon bombing killed three spectators and injured more than 260.
- Hall of Famer David Ortiz famously told the crowd, "This jersey that we wear today, it doesn't say Red Sox, it says Boston," declaring no one would "dictate our freedom."
- Red Sox manager Alex Cora emphasized the day unites the community, while pitching coach Andrew Bailey and Jonny Gomes, both from the 2013 team, participated in Monday's commemorations.
- The 2013 game sparked a World Series championship run for the Red Sox, and the uniform remains a permanent symbol of the team's commitment to honoring the community on Patriots' Day.
