Thrown Beer Slightly Damagaes World Series Trophy
NBC10 ^ | 10/31/18 | Mark Fortier

Boston's euphoric street party celebrating the city's fourth World Series title in 15 years has claimed at least one casualty.

Security was heavy for Wednesday's duck boat parade carrying the victorious Red Sox through downtown. There were few problems, but one fan reportedly tossed a full can of beer at one of the boats, and it struck and slightly damaged a World Series trophy.

Boston police said they arrested a Massachusetts teen on Boylston Street after they saw him throw an unopened can of beer at one of the duck boats, striking an adult male party on board.

Patrick Connolly, 19, of Sandwich, is charged with assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon and disorderly conduct. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Boston Municipal Court.

Police did not say whether Connolly is the same person who threw the beer that damaged the World Series trophy.

Video from the parade showed beer cans being tossed to several Red Sox players riding in the parade on duck boats, including pitchers Matt Barnes, Joe Kelly and Craig Kimbrel and outfielder Mookie Betts. Barnes could be seen catching a beer, while Betts was seen dropping one.

One onlooker told the Boston Globe she got hit in the face with a beer, and medics told her she might need stitches.

Mayor Marty Walsh had urged residents before the World Series to be respectful, saying "The Red Sox catch phrase this season is 'Do damage' -- that's for the players on the field, not the fans in the streets."

He also said this week that public drinking would not be tolerated during the parade.

Hundreds of thousands of jubilant fans skipped school and work to cheer for the team during Wednesday's parade, giving this year's Halloween a special flavor on a crisp autumn day. Many wore Red Sox gear instead of Halloween costumes.

Idiots. Mouthbreathers.

I’m happy if Boston teams win, but I’m not a “townie”. Crap like this is exactly why.

Then there was the infamous pool party at the late Vinnie Paul’s house where the Cup was thrown into the pool from the balcony, only it hit the side of the pool and put a dent in the Cup.

Whatever it is, it doesn’t appear to be assault. Reckless or negligent behavior, sure.
