After the Red Sox routed the Marlins in a 10-2 victory on Wednesday, they received a surprise visit from rapper Lil Wayne.
The headliner of YMCMB –– Young Money Cash Money Billionaires –– mingled with the team in the clubhouse and even took pictures with players, from David Ortiz to Cody Ross to Mike Aviles and even posing with Boston pitching legend Luis Tiant.
