Red Sox pitcher Julian Tavarez was walking the lower concourse less than two hours prior to tonight's game. While the Red Sox were taking batting practice in preparation for Game Two of the ALDS, Tavarez was in full uniform walking in the midst of fans on his way back to the clubhouse.
His presence clearly took fans by surprise as some did a double-take. In fact, one young fan attempted to get his autograph before security stop him.
Former Red Sox pitcher Lenny Dinardo did the same last summer, but there was no security around to help him. He stood at the entrance of the clubhouse and signed plenty of autographs.
*Red Sox mananger Terry Francona was almost hit in the head by a line drive during BP earlier tonight. He was running off the field when J.D. Drew pulled the ball that barely missed the manager.
As Francona ran into the dugout he said: "That'll be enough of that."
Drew is still in the lineup tonight.
*Red Sox legend Luis Tiant threw out the ceremonial first pitch tonight. He gave fans his vintage delivery and threw a strike to Red Sox shortstop Julio Lugo, who served as his batterymate.
