Red Sox Honor Boston Marathon Victims During Parade 

Post#1 » by RealGM Wiretap » Sat Nov 2, 2013 6:17 pm

The Red Sox are parading on Saturday, a celebration that was highlighted by a touching moment at the Boston Marathon finish line, according to an ESPN.com report.


The 25 duck boats carrying players and executives paused when they reached the marathon finish line, still painted blue and yellow, where three spectators died in the bombings during the April 15 race.


Jonny Gomes placed the World Series trophy on the line and he and Jarrod Saltalamacchia held Red Sox jerseys with the words "BOSTON STRONG" and the number 617, the city's area code. The moment was accompanied by a rendition of "God Bless America" by singer Ronan Tynan
