The Red Sox’s Triston Casas plans to paint his nails red and white this season and they look fabulous

What a wonderful look!

The season after making his MLB debut with the Boston Red Sox, 23-year-old first baseman Triston Casas will be changing it up a bit. How? Specifically with part of his look.

As Boston pushes through spring training, Casas revealed that he plans to paint his fingernails red and his toenails white this season. Sprinkle in a bit of glitter on the middle fingers, and it’s obvious he knows what he’s doing. And for how long exactly? That’s not clear other than that the look on Casas’s hands and feet appear fantastic as he tries to build on his first season in the big leagues.

If Casas sports it full-time on a semi-regular basis or even just now and then, it’ll look great regardless:

Who knows how far this will go? If Casas can catch fire with his bat and glove, perhaps his painted-nail look can become as much of a trademark as Joc Pederson’s pearl necklace once was. It’s hard to find any faults with that outcome.

MLB fans were baffled after man who grabbed Triston Casas’s first HR reveals the wild backstory of the catch

You will not believe where this story goes.

First career home runs in the MLB are supremely memorable moments, but Triston Casas’s will be remembered for a wildly different reason.

On Tuesday, Casas launched his first ever career home run over the wall for the Boston Red Sox, a two-run blast that put the visitors one run behind the Tampa Bay Rays in the second. Pretty cool, right? Well, this is where things get interesting.

Initially, it seemed as if the fan that caught Casas’s first home run refused to relinquish the ball! The fan — wearing a Rays shirt, which is important for later — first denied the Tampa Bay mascot, Raymond. Then, he was later seen surrounded by Rays staff, clearly in negotiations for the ball.

Later, NESN sideline reporter Jahmai Webster caught up with the fan and the story that unfolded is truly unique. The fan, named Jordan, is actually a Chicago White Sox fan and caught the ball while eating his chicken wings, of all things.

There’s so much to unpack here. From being an undercover White Sox fan to not knowing whose home run ball he caught, this is a wild tale.

Eventually the swap was made and Jordan received a signed bat from Casas and balls signed by Xander Bogaerts and Rafael Devers. According to Red Sox beat reporter Ian Browne, Jordan wasn’t holding the ball hostage, he was just waiting to give the ball to staff to deliver it to Casas!

Wow, what a story! As expected, MLB fans were quite puzzled at the proceedings as they unfolded.
