Putting the 2026 Red Sox into the Mario Universe
""Just look at him. They're very similar in stature. Real strong and he's got that presence about him, that Bowser presence. He's got the intensity. I've never seen a more spot-on comparison.""
""Contreras did have a four-hit, three RBI day which is frankly villainous if you're a Cardinal but fantastic if you're a Red Sox.""
""The nickname itself didn't start in Boston-Contreras said it was coined by former teammate Pedro Pagés during his time in St. Louis, but since arriving with the Red Sox this spring, it's taken on a life of its own.""
""And once Bowser exists in the clubhouse, it raises a much more important question: Who else is in this Red Sox/Mario universe?""
Trevor Story praised Willson Contreras after a game, comparing him to Bowser due to his strong stature and intense presence. Contreras had an impressive performance with four hits and three RBIs. The nickname 'Bowser' originated from former teammate Pedro Pagés and has gained popularity among the Red Sox, with teammates embracing it and even creating T-shirts. This playful comparison raises curiosity about other potential Mario character comparisons within the Red Sox team.
