Trevor Story’s home run gets an assist from this young fan and his well-positioned head!

This Trevor Story “bomb” was a home run because the ball hit the foul pole, but Jhonkensy Noel would have caught it had it not been for the young fan’s head. I hope Story and the Red Sox sent some swag his way! Story's home run was the shortest non-inside-the-park home run of the 2025 season and the second-shortest of the Statcast era.

Story's Pesky Pole special ruled home run” BOSTON -- Pesky Pole homers are rare as it is. There are maybe a handful of them each season. The man the pole is named after – the late Johnny Pesky -- hit all of six home runs at Fenway Park in his career, and there’s no official record of how many of them were hit into that odd corner that is 302 feet from home plate. However, Trevor Story’s Pesky special -- which helped the Red Sox to a 6-4 victory over the Guardians in Monday’s matinee at Fenway Park -- might go into a quirky class all of its own. Confusion dominated when Story’s fly ball down the line in the bottom of the sixth inning was pursued by Guardians right fielder Jhonkensy Noel. As Noel reached over the short wall to try to catch it, the ball hit his glove, clanged off the pole, hit his glove a second time and then hit a fan. The initial call on the field was a foul ball. As the umpiring crew huddled and discussed it, Story stayed at second base, perhaps thinking it was a ground-rule double. Red Sox manager Alex Cora then called for a review, and Story was rewarded with his 23rd homer of the season. Give an assist to replay coordinator Mike Brenly, who has secured his share of clutch overturns for Boston this season. “Brenly was the one that saw the whole thing,” said Cora. “We screamed Pesky [from the dugout] and kind of took off [trying to see it], and then they had the call, and [bench coach] Ramon [Vázquez] called Mikey, and he was like, ‘We have to challenge this one’. And we did.”
