BOSTON (WHDH) - The Boston Red Sox confirmed Thursday that their 2018 World Series trophy was damaged by a thrown beer during Wednesday’s rolling rally victory parade.
Video shared with 7News shows a beer can deflect off the trophy, which was being held by a member of the organization who was riding on a Duck Boat.
Some of the flags on the top of the trophy were bent back as a result of the direct impact.
A team official said the damage was minor and that it has since been repaired.
