In case any Bostonians missed the Bruins victory parade Saturday morning, there was a miniature version of it at Fenway Park today.

Four duck boats full of Bruins players made a victory lap around the field prior to this afternoon's game between the Red Sox and Brewers.

Zdeno Chara held the Stanley Cup above his head as the duck boats circled the field. Fans cheered as players' names were announced, and there were particularly loud cheers for Nathan Horton and goalie Tim Thomas.

What seemed like the entire Red Sox roster lined up near home plate to catch ceremonial first pitches from all of the Bruins. Chara threw what appeared to be a strike to Sox catcher Jason Varitek.

Before throwing their pitches, the Bruins placed the Stanley Cup on the pitchers' mound, inciting a round of applause from the crowd.
