Red Sox unveil Fenway Park-themed Green Monster jerseys
The Green Monster at Fenway Park is honored every night by "Wally," the mascot of the Boston Red Sox. Now, it's commemorated in the team's attire.
The Red Sox unveiled their "Fenway Greens" on Friday, which is a City Connect uniform dedicated to the 37-foot, 2-inch wall — otherwise known as the Green Monster — that ranges from left to center field in Fenway Park.
Starting pitchers Brayan Bello and Garrett Crochet and outfielder Jarren Duran wore the "Fenway Greens," which are the same colored green as the Green Monster, in a photo posted by the team.
The Red Sox have a three-game series at home against the Atlanta Braves starting on Friday night, which is when the jerseys will be debuted, with Game 2 of the series on Saturday night airing on FOX and the FOX Sports app at 7:15 p.m. ET.

"This iteration of City Connects has been two-plus years in the making, for sure, maybe for even longer than that," Red Sox chief marketing and partnership officer Troup Parkinson said Friday, according to MLB.com. "I think we've been intrigued by the idea of somehow making Fenway the star of a jersey."
Boston's yellow, Boston Marathon-themed City Connect jerseys will remain in the team's rotation. The "Fenway Greens" will be worn again on May 23, when Boston hosts the Baltimore Orioles, with a schedule thereafter yet to be determined.
As for the players depicted wearing the "Fenway Greens," Bello has posted a 2.33 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 17 strikeouts across five starts this season; Crochet, an offseason acquisition from the Chicago White Sox, has posted a 1.93 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 65 strikeouts across nine starts; Duran has totaled two home runs and 23 RBIs, while boasting a .253/.298/.376 slash line. As part of its home run ritual, Boston players have thrown on a "Wally" head in the dugout this season.
Boston is 22-23, good for second place in the American League East.

ESPN has ‘hopeful' LeBron James, Stephen Curry wish
The post ESPN has 'hopeful' LeBron James, Stephen Curry wish appeared first on ClutchPoints. Two of the top NBA stars, Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry, may be wrapping up their playing careers soon, and ESPN is hoping to snag them for top roles after they retire. Advertisement While appearing on The Main Event with Andrew Marchand podcast (via Awful Announcing), ESPN's lead NBA producer Tim Corrigan talked about some current players he would like to see in the broadcast booth. He seemed 'hopeful' James, Curry, and Chris Paul would eventually go down this path. 'We're hopeful,' said Corrigan. 'You talk about those two guys [James and Curry], besides their insane physical gifts and talents and all the work they've done, their basketball minds, we would all benefit from more exposure to that, right? And I would say somebody like Chris Paul, who did a little bit with us last year, coming in and jumping in the studio and doing all that, just to spend the time, to see how they see the game and feel the game and recognize, there's so many stories about LeBron knowing the call the other team's making and telling his guys on the court, 'Here's what they're going to do' based on who's coming on the court. 'We would all benefit from that in live events and things like that. To have the mind of people who think that way and see that way and have studied the game as intently as he has,' he continued. Will LeBron James and Stephen Curry become NBA broadcasters after they retire from the NBA? Nothing is certain, but James and Curry would both have opportunities if they wanted to get into broadcasting. James hosts the Mind the Game podcast. JJ Reddick and Steve Nash have co-hosted it with him. Advertisement He also seemed open to it, saying, 'I see Tom Brady doing it; he's been great so far. We will see, even if it's just a guest appearance, a game or two when I am done playing, but it's always fun to give back to the game.' Curry, meanwhile, recently discussed the chances of him getting into broadcasting after his playing career with CNBC. He conceded he would be 'more patient' than Fox commentator Tom Brady, who stepped into the booth a year after his retirement but didn't rule it out. 'I think about what would be the right opportunity for me, 'cause anything that I do, I want to be all in on it,' Curry explained. 'Right now, just doing your homework on the different pathways and options that might be available.' James, 40, and Curry, 37, are heading into their 23rd and 17th seasons in the NBA, respectively. They are entering the twilights of their careers, and they will have opportunities to stay involved with the game once they hang it up.

Giants' Receiver Jalin Hyatt Sends Social Media Message at OTAs
Giants' Receiver Jalin Hyatt Sends Social Media Message at OTAs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. New York Giants receiver Jalin Hyatt was drafted to open up the offense with his elite speed and knack for making big plays downfield. Through his own inconsistencies and poor quarterback play, he stumbled through his rookie season and face-plant in Year 2. Advertisement Subsequently, Hyatt is all but out of New York's long-term plans. Re-signing receiver Darius Slayton for three seasons maintains Hyatt's ceiling as the fourth receiver on this roster. As things stand, Hyatt is enduring a left-tailed outcome for a Day 2 pick, and if he struggles in 2025, it would be awfully difficult to save him a roster spot ahead of a contract year. Hyatt plans on changing the narrative on his career, and that starts at OTAs, where he has impressed with veteran Russell Wilson under center. The Giants' receiver sent a message to his critics in a now-deleted tweet. 'I hold grudges .. I ain't forget.' Advertisement Hyatt's 2024 season went about as poorly as a healthy campaign can go. He was at his best replacing Slayton for one game, but ultimately finished with just eight catches and 62 yards in 16 games. He is yet to find the end zone as a professional. Still, Hyatt possesses upside as a field stretcher, and that meshes well with Wilson, whose 'moon balls' have kept him potent past his prime. He spoke about his growing rapport with the receiving corps at OTAs. 'The time we spent in the offseason has paid off,' he told reporters. "The time that they've worked in their walkthroughs, all the way to how they've approached that to, obviously, our approach in practice. 'And the speed that they play with. You saw Slayton catch that bomb today, I threw it to him, and just his ability to make plays down the field. Advertisement 'Jalin, I'm really excited about him and what he's done so far.' Connecting with Wilson could earn Hyatt the playing time he needs to let his tools win. Head coach Brian Daboll consistently preached being aggressive ahead of the 2024 season, suggesting that he'll unleash Wilson now that he has a passer he can trust. Wilson is always positive, especially when praising his teammates. But that doesn't mean it's all smoke. Hyatt will have the opportunity to earn his quarterback's confidence and push for playing time this summer. So far, he's gotten off to a hot start. 'I think Jalin Hyatt, he's a guy that I really believe in.'
