NEW YORK — Muhammad Ali is back in the Bronx.

Ali received a warm welcome when he was honored before the New York Yankees’ game against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday night.
The boxing great pointed and waved to the crowd as he rode along the warning track in a golf cart. The cheers grew louder as he approached home plate and the crowd chanted “Ali! Ali!”
Shortstop Derek Jeter gave the former heavyweight champion a Yankees hat before the entire New York dugout emptied out for a picture behind home plate.
Ali fought across the street at the old Yankee Stadium in 1976, beating Ken Norton in a 15-round unanimous decision. His adopted son, Asaad Ali, is a catching prospect who was drafted by the Angels in the 40th round of the June draft.
