Red Sox reliever Joe Kelly's involvement during a benches-clearing brawl against the New York Yankees on Wednesday has made him a bit of a hero in Boston.
Kelly was attending the Bruins' second game of the playoffs against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday and received a loud ovation when he was shown on the scoreboard. The crowd also broke into a "Yankees Suck!" chant.
