History was made at Fenway Park on Friday night when Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz became the first players age 40 or over to hit home runs in the same game.
Yet the home runs were so much more that.
For after A-Rod hit his home run, a towering shot to left-center off southpaw Henry Owens in the first inning of the Yankees’ 4-2 loss to the Red Sox, he did a really nice thing when he stopped at the railing next to the third-base dugout and gave his bat to an 8-year-old boy named David Moss whose father had died of cancer.
