Steve Horgan, better known as "Bullpen Cop" to Red Sox Nation, jumped for joy again Friday night at Fenway Park.
In case you missed it, Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts made what may be the catch of the year, leaping high over the right-field wall to rob Orioles slugger Chris Davis of a home run with two outs in the ninth inning.

Betts' catch preserved a two-hit, 7-0 shutout for left-hander Rich Hill. But look who was there, at right of the screen, immediately after Betts makes the catch:
That would be Horgan, who in his duties as a Boston police officer in the Fenway bullpen has seen first-hand some of the great moments in team history. He became a local celebrity and social media sensation in Game 2 of the 2013 ALCS. As David Ortiz cranked a game-tying grand slam against the Tigers in the eighth inning, Horgan could be seen jumping for joy as the ball landed right in front of him in the bullpen.
After that game, he recreated his celebration with team owner John Henry.
