Boston Red Sox fans have been treated to some average results this season while their arch-rivals New York Yankees are thriving. That too in the absence of their leader Aaron Judge. Notably, after their World Series-winning season in 2018, the Red Sox have only disappointed their fans. But most recently, they got the feeling of a championship once again. A 2023 NBA champion with the Denver Nuggets made a special appearance at their most recent game. 

This comes mere weeks after the Nuggets made history with their first NBA Finals appearance and first-ever Championship. It was a delightful moment as the Boston native visited his hometown MLB team after winning a ring.
