The party never stops when you’re a World Series champion.
After winning the 2018 Fall Classic, the Boston Red Sox have been honored numerous times both as a team and individually, and it was Jackie Bradley Jr.’s turn to take a bow Saturday at Williams-Brice Stadium.
The Red Sox center fielder was in Columbia, S.C., to watch his alma mater, the South Carolina Gamecocks, take on the Chattanooga Mocks and he got a rousing ovation from the Gamecock faithful.

Bradley, of course, starred for South Carolina’s baseball team from 2009-2011. He was named Most Outstanding Player of the 2010 College World Series, going 10-for-29 to lead the Gamecocks to the CWS title.
The 2018 Gold Glove winner wasn’t the only Boston athlete at Williams-Brice taking in Senior Night, as New England Patriots cornerback and former Gamecock Stephon Gilmore also was on the sideline.
