Red Sox outfielder Jonny Gomes was so overcome with elation and pride over Boston's 2013 World Series championship that the 33-year-old felt compelled to immortalize the experience by forever etching it into his skin.

• Gomes' beard is his defining physical characteristic;
• Gomes is an unapologetic patriot;
• Gomes is partial to duck boats.
