Customers were caught off guard, and received autographs and free Red Sox tickets.

A routine visit to the ATM turned into a surprise meeting with Red Sox pitcher Clay Buchholz for some Bank of America customers.

"I was withdrawing money for lunch," said Back Bay resident Damaris Casanova, who works at the Walgreens. She was shocked to see the baseball star.

The visit was part of new, national Bank of America program to thank customers. The company organized similar events across the country with players from the New York Yankees (suck), Chicago Cubs, San Francisco Giants and Los Angeles Dodgers.
