Story is now batting .231 with six home runs and 27 RBIs. Who caught his home run ball? None other than 2013 World Series Champion Johnny Gomes. Gomes said that he wants Story to sign the ball, so he can take it home.

Boston Red Sox analyst and podcaster Jared Carrabis texted Johnny Gomes, asking if he caught the home run ball or not, and here was his response.
Gomes is catching baseballs and downing some Sam Adams. Nothing better than that if you ask me! It appears he is enjoying retirement and having a good time watching the Red Sox defeat the Mariners.
