BOSTON—Red Sox left fielder Jason Bay has long played America’s pastime and can now call himself an American.
The 30-year-old from Canada was among 360 people to became U.S. citizens Thursday in a ceremony led by U.S. District Court Judge Leo Sorokin at Boston’s historic Faneuil Hall.
Bay said “it’s a pretty proud day for me.“ He said his wife and daughters are Americans.
The British Columbia native is the first Red Sox player to be naturalized since Dominican Republic-born David Ortiz was sworn in last summer in Fenway Park.
Bay said he’s not denouncing being Canadian, “but I’m definitely proud to be an American.“
