Pierce Plays to the Crowd
Date: June 20, 2008
NBA Finals MVP Paul Pierce saluted Boston fans at Fenway Park just days after the Celtics won their 17th NBA World Championship title. The team rode into the ballpark on duck boats with Queen’s anthem “We Are The Champions” playing on the loudspeakers. Pierce threw out the first pitch, then playfully slid into second base before Head Coach Doc Rivers yelled, “Play ball!”
