Red Sox Watched ‘The Sandlot’ While Waiting For Rain Delay to End in Minnesota (Video)

The Red Sox were able to pick up their fifth straight win on the road on Sunday against the Minnesota Twins, but it took a little while to do it. The Sox came back out and captured the win after a three-hour rain delay.

Starting pitcher John Lackey pitched six innings in the 5-1 victory, but knew after the first half hour of the delay that he wouldn’t be going back into the game. Lackey said the team spent the time watching a classic baseball movie in the clubhouse.

Jaromir Jagr Not Content With Bruins’ 2-0 Lead Over Rangers, Puts in Practice Time Alone Three Hours After Bruins Win (Photo)

The Bruins posted a dominant 5-2 win over the New York Rangers to pull ahead to two games to none in the Eastern Conference semifinals on Sunday night. But Jaromir Jagr didn’t see that fact as enough to warrant a night off.

The forward is in the midst of a playoff scoring drought that dates back to his time with the Philadelphia Flyers, and it’s possible he’s hoping to contribute more to the B’s through the rest of the series. Jagr was seen on the ice at TD Garden around 8 PM, more than three hours after the Bruins’ win over the Rangers, in front of 17,565 empty seats practicing alone in a Bruins beanie hat.

Check out the dedicated teammate in the photo below.

Bruins now in overtime. Almost 8 pm, Jagr on ice, practicing alone with building all but empty. http://t.co/QegQbWVHJI
