While the Boston Red Sox were out of town for a series against the Chicago White Sox at Guaranteed Rate Field, the traveling exhibition baseball team, the Savannah Bananas, played a game Saturday night at Fenway Park.

Wherever the Bananas are playing they usually try to get former athletes who played in the city involved, and that trend continued on Saturday when four former Red Sox took the field - Jonathan Papelbon, Jonny Gomes, Mitch Moreland and Bill "Spaceman" Lee.

Moreland ripped a single into left field during his at-bat, Gomes grounded out to second base, Papelbon got his batter to fly out and Lee allowed five runs in relief.

All four entered to extremely loud ovations.
