The temperature was sinking below 40 degrees at Fenway Park on Wednesday night as the Boston Red Sox and Toronto Blue Jays were locked in a seemingly endless 1-1 tie.<\/p>\n

After each team scored once in the first inning, both sides fell victim to extended offensive droughts. By the time the seventh inning rolled around, still neither team had gotten another run on the board.<\/p>\n

One fan sitting down the left field line, bundled up in a Patagonia jacket and beanie, was rewarded for sticking it out through the frigid pitchers’ duel, snagging a foul ball in the top of the seventh. The man hadn’t moved by the 10th inning, when the score remained 1-1.<\/p>\n

He got a second souvenir in the bottom of that frame, catching another foul ball off the bat of rookie Kristian Campbell.<\/p>\n

With a baseball mitt on his left hand and a winter glove on his right, he raised both arms in the air in celebration, egging on cheers from other fans in his section.<\/p>\n
