The owner of the Boston Red Sox and Liverpool FC has branded hurling "a fantastic game".
John Henry was clearly wooed by the inaugural Fenway Hurling Classic between Galway and Dublin last Sunday, which saw the Tribesmen edge their capital counterparts by 50-47 to clinch victory at the home of the Boston Red Sox.
The game may have been marred by a mini-brawl, which was played down by the players afterwards, but Henry clearly came away a fan and hopes the sport will return to Boston, as the Gaelic Players Association revealed via Twitter.

It has yet to be confirmed whether or not the Classic will return to Boston's famed stadium again next year.
