Red Sox Prospect Roman Anthony Sparks Viral Fame for Sister Lia

Roman Anthony, the Boston Red Sox's top prospect, made a memorable MLB debut with a two-run double at Fenway Park, but the spotlight unexpectedly shifted to his sister, Lia Anthony. Lia, who attended the game with their family, quickly went viral for her presence in the stands and has since seen her Instagram followers surge from around 3,000 to over 16,000. She described the experience as "surreal" during a WEEI radio interview, sharing that she received numerous direct messages, including some humorous baseball-related ones. Despite the media attention on Lia, Roman remained focused on his baseball career, with the family expressing surprise over her sudden fame. The Anthony family, originally from Florida, enjoyed their first visit to Boston, including a special moment meeting MLB legend David Ortiz, who praised Roman's potential as the franchise's future face. Lia, a recent Florida State University graduate, is now balancing her newfound social media fame with an upcoming job while supporting her brother's promising career.
