Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman and some teammates put away sticks to take BP at Fenway Park

Boston Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman and eight of his teammates donned baseball bats for batting practice at Fenway Park on Saturday. This marked the team's first annual event, with a fee of $205.00 plus GST for a one-year subscription. Swayman, the Bruins' goaltender, shared that he was accustomed to stopping shots rather than hitting them.

He acknowledged the fun of being on offense for once. During the practice, several players managed to hit shots over the Green Monster. Forward Morgan Geekie cleared the wall with a drive from the right side of the plate, while Tanner Jeannot hit two over the Wall, one bouncing off the cement and out of the park. Nikita Zadorov, a defenseman, attempted to catch fly balls in the outfield.

Swayman also flashed some leather on a few well-struck balls, demonstrating his skills as a goalie. Red Sox left-hander Payton Tolle watched the practice in a Bruins sweater. Despite Fenway's deep right field, Swayman managed to hit a couple down the right-field line, rolling around the track. When informed of his ability to score a stand-up double or perhaps a triple with his speed, Swayman responded with a smile while adopting his goalie stance.
