The Boston Red Sox recently paid tribute to one of the team's loyal fans: Coeur d'Alene Police Sgt. Greg Moore.
"We received a request to acknowledge Police Sgt. Moore’s passing from someone who read that he was a Red Sox fan in his obituary," stated John Gonoude, a representative of the Red Sox franchise in Boston, in a message Thursday to The Press. "The scoreboard message was a small gesture from the club to pay tribute to a devoted fan who passed away so tragically."
Moore was shot while on patrol May 5 in Coeur d'Alene. He died later that day. The suspect, Jonathan Renfro, is being held at Kootenai County jail on $2 million bail.
The tribute to Moore was displayed on the Fenway Park scoreboard May 13, according to Gonoude. It did not appear during a game.
A photo of the scoreboard and its message - "The Red Sox remember Sgt. Greg Moore" - was posted Wednesday on a Facebook page named "Good News for Cops." The Facebook status included a message for the Boston baseball team:
"Thank you Boston Red Sox for honoring your fan and our fallen brother Coeur d'Alene Police Department Sgt Greg Moore. Boston ROCKS!"
The Good News for Cops Facebook page states it was created by an unidentified Spokane woman to recognize the "everyday acts of help, kindnesses, accomplishments, and good deeds by our men and women in law enforcement." The page has 12,000 followers.
