Lightning Strikes During Fenway Park Rain Delay (Photo)

The Red Sox and Blue Jays lit up the scoreboard on Monday night, but it paled in comparison to the light show Mother Nature had in store.

The Fenway Park grounds crew pulled the tarp onto the field in the seventh inning, and they didn't do so a second too soon. Just moments after the umpires called for a rain delay, the rain picked up, the thunder boomed and lightning lit up the sky.

In fact, some of the lightning was rather intense, with bolts striking down right around the Fenway area.

Check out the crazy lightning in the photo below.
