Boston Celtics fans don't need the reminder that things aren't what they once were, but the Red Sox gave them one, anyway. On Saturday, the Red Sox hosted several Celtics players, as well as Joe Mazzulla and a few assistants. The non-Celtics fans in attendance at Fenway probably couldn't have named the players in attendance. Actually, they definitely couldn't.
Days after winning the 2024 championship, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Kristaps Porzingis, Derrick White, and Al Horford all took part in the ceremonial first pitch. None of those players were in attendance on Saturday (Porzingis is gone and Horford might as well be).
