Despite the Boston Red Sox sitting at a perfectly average 19-19 as we approach the quarter-mark of the MLB season, third baseman Alex Bregman has been on an absolute tear. Through his first 37 games in a Red Sox uniform, the 31-year-old is hitting .327 with nine home runs, 30 RBI, and a 1.093 OPS.

With runners on second and third and two outs in the bottom of the seventh of a tie game, the Rangers elected to pitch to Bregman with first base open. Bregman — who’d already homered and doubled — made them regret the strategy, dumping a two-run single to left for the game-winning runs.

Alex Bregman knows one can. The Jewish Red Sox star spent the team’s April 28 off-day in Toronto at the Nova Exhibition, a traveling installation designed to “empower visitors to responsibly explore & bear witness” to the massacre perpetrated by Hamas in southern Israel and at the Nova Music Festival on Oct. 7, 2023.
