Video: Ric Flair introduced Red Sox before O's win

September 21, 2011|By Matt Vensel

Pro wrestling legend Ric Flair was at Fenway Park on Tuesday night to meet with Dustin Pedroia and the Red Sox. Our Dan Connolly reported that a couple of Orioles players got a kick out of meeting him, too. The play did not pay off for Boston, though, as "the Nature Boy" was unable to "WOOO!" the Red Sox past the feisty Orioles.

However, Flair delivered when he emphatically introduced the Red Sox on NESN before the game (while holding a championship belt, of course). I'm not sure if he announced the Orioles, too, but given how he properly handled the pronunciation of Jarrod Saltalamacchia, he probably would have had no issue with Chris Jakubauskas.

Hopefully this inspires MASN to bring in the Iron Sheik or Doink the Clown for a future Orioles broadcast.
