Zaunny Bench

Blue Jays catcher Gregg Zaun became a favorite in the Red Sox clubhouse after this home run. The homer won the game in extra innings and sent the large group of Red Sox players watching the game on TV into a frenzy because it cut the Rays lead in the division to 2 1/2 games. Judging by the celebration, you would have thought the Red Sox had just won with a walkoff home run.

 

Then everybody kept calling the guy Zaunny Bench.

 

Amid the mini-celebration, one Red Sox player spotted baseball artist Vernon Wells, the father of Blue Jays Vernon Wells Jr., in the clubhouse and politely said "Vernon Wells is a good player, too."
