After robbing homer, Fenway fans give Indians' Austin Jackson standing ovation

BOSTON -- Cleveland Indians center fielder Austin Jackson made such a sensational catch, he drew a standing ovation -- from the rival Red Sox fans at Fenway Park.

Jackson raced toward right-center, jumped high and jack-knifed into the Boston bullpen to rob Hanley Ramirez of a leadoff home run in the fifth inning Tuesday night.

The Fenway crowd began cheering an apparent homer as Jackson tumbled out of sight. The celebration was silenced when Jackson re-emerged and held up his glove with the ball still inside.
