“According to MassLive, [Red Sox left fielder] Michael Chavis said the fan yelled to him in left field.

“He was yelling that I’m no Michael Jordan because I wear 23 and my name’s Michael,” said Chavis, who added that he heard the man is safe.”

“In a season with no fans, the Yankees and Red Sox were delayed for about 10 minutes during Boston’s 10-2 win on Sunday when a fan entered Fenway Park and got near the camera platform in center field.

The fan, wearing a Red Sox jersey, shouted and threw a hat onto the field in the top of the eighth with DJ LeMahieu at the plate and Ryan Brasier on the mound.

He evaded security for several minutes, did push-ups and briefly dangled off the edge of the platform in a potentially dangerous scene before he was apprehended by security and led away.

“Personally, it was a little scary,’’ said Red Sox left fielder Michael Chavis.

“Probably the last thing you think you are going to have is a fan delay this season,” Erik Kratz said.

The Boston Globe reported the fan was not arrested and was taken to a hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

“I don’t know what was said out there and you try not to make too much light of it because it could have been a scary situation,’’ Aaron Boone said. “It was definitely odd.””
