Boston Red Sox:

American League Champion

-

BEN AFFLECK

- Newly sober and single, the 46-year-old Academy Award-winning director, actor and screenwrit­er is a perennial favorite at Fenway thanks in part to growing up in Cambridge — in spite of being born in California. Affleck’s presence would show some “Good Will” toward the Sox’ hunt for another title.

STEPHEN CURRY

- The pride of the Golden State Warriors and the hottest name in profession­al basketball owes no allegiance to Beantown, but the one time the 30-year-old is willing to let his guard down is when the Red Sox play, as evidenced by his enthusiast­ic postings on Twitter and Snapchat. Face time at Fenway is one favor we’re unabashedl­y willing to Curry.

GISELE BUNDCHEN

- First lady of supermodel­ing and wife of Patriots quarterbac­k Tom Brady, 38-year-old Brazilian-born Bundchen rocks red whether throwing out the first pitch at Fenway or canoodling with the GOAT in a luxury box. No pink hat here, folks.

JIMMY FALLON

- One need not admit that Fallon’s romcom “Fever Pitch” is a guilty pleasure to appreciate the film’s ending was redone when Boston won the World Series in 2004. The 44-year-old “The Tonight Show” host and “Saturday Night Live” alum is a native New Yorker. He once said he couldn’t attend a Sox-Yankees game because his loyalties were torn. Not a problem now.

MARK WAHLBERG

- Oscar nominee for Boston-based Best Picture “The Departed,” the former rapper, action star and burger mogul rose from the hardscrabb­le streets of Dorchester to Hollywood’s A-list. In a tip of his baseball cap to his roots. Wahlberg, 47, persuaded former Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez to pull a wait-staff shift at the Wahlburger­s next to Fenway Park last month when New York lost a trip to the ALCS to the Sox. “Good Vibrations” indeed.
