BOSTON -- Jeter Downs might hesitate the next time he thinks about putting his phone on "do not disturb" mode.
The Red Sox’s No. 5 prospect, as ranked by MLB Pipeline, hoped to snooze his Monday morning away with Triple-A Worcester having an off-day.
That off-day turned out to be a monumental Monday that had the 23-year-old Downs rushing to Fenway Park after being called up by the Red Sox for his first taste of life in the Major Leagues.
“I got the call today around 10. So I was sleeping in a little and had my phone on ‘do not disturb’ so I could sleep,” said Downs. “So I missed a couple calls then [Chad Tracy], our manager [at Worcester] texted me, ‘Call me when you get a chance.’
“So I called him and he’s like, ‘You trying not to get to the big leagues?’ Or something like that. I was like, ‘It’s my off-day, I’m trying to sleep,’ and I couldn’t believe it. I started crying. It was pretty surreal. I can’t believe I just took BP here [at Fenway].”

Boston Sports Bar Ready for The Finals!
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. – Deep in Golden State territory, you'll find a Boston gem: Connecticut Yankee. The sports bar is less than a mile away from the Chase Center in San Francisco, but come Thursday, they'll host the Bay Area's biggest Celtics fans. "People are going to come out in droves," said bar owner Jonathan Broyer. "It's going to be wild. It has been every other championship run that we've hosted here."
Boston fans in San Francisco get just as rowdy as they do in New England. For those traveling for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, Broyer told WBZ-TV they have plenty of Sam Adams beer to go around."We literally have a Southie special as a shot-beer special," Broyer explained. "It's a shot of Jameson and a Sam Adams. We're the only bar in San Francisco that sells McGillicuddy."
Broyer inherited the Connecticut Yankee from a friend who wanted to keep the Boston tradition going on the West Coast. As a bar owner, Broyer is banking on a seven-game series, but as a Celtics fan, he said, "I don't want to get down to a Game 7. As a fan I would like an extra game, maybe two, but a Game 7 back here in San Francisco is always scary."
