Blame It On The Rain

June 20th, 2008 by Ian · 19 Comments ·

When NESN came back from a commercial at the beginning of the rain delay, the fans at Fenway Park were being treated to Boston Red Sox bullpen members Jonathan Papelbon and Manny Delcarmen getting their Milli Vanilli on and lip-synching their song “Blame It On The Rain”. Then during the postgame show, they showed the beginning of the video.

Here is that combined video goodness for you.
