Her following on Instagram has jumped from around 3,000 to over 16,000 in less than 48 hours.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Wow, I mean it\u2019s been surreal,&#8217; Lia said to WEEI. &#8216;It\u2019s crazy\u2026 I\u2019ve gotten quite a few DMs since that night.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;I got a couple baseball [DMs]. But it was funny, somebody said something about how they accidentally hit their baseball [in my DMs] and asked me to throw it back.&#8217;<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>The cameraman on NESN zoomed in on Lia Anthony as she watcher her brother Roman play<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p>\u00a0She has recently graduated after four years of studying at Florida State University<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&#8216;I think [Roman] definitely was shocked. We all were. We all were kind of in disbelief. But, I mean, he\u2019s got bigger things to focus on. So, he\u2019s just been focusing on his debut and everything. But I think we were all just shocked by it.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Lia was at Tuesday night&#8217;s game alongside mom Lori, dad Anthony Sr., and brother Tony.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear when after the second-inning interview Lia found out of her new online fame.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Lord have mercy,&#8217; one fan said, while another added: &#8216;What&#8217;s her @? Asking for a friend&#8230;&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>There was more to Lia&#8217;s Tuesday night than baseball fans wanting to know more about her.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Oh my gosh. The people were amazing,&#8217; Lia added. &#8216;It was an incredible experience. It was actually, this is my first time in Boston, and I had never been to Fenway\u2026 [The Red Sox] brought us to meet David Ortiz. It was just an unreal experience.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;My mom especially was so touched by it, because David Ortiz had shared a couple words with her, talking about how incredible Roman is and how he\u2019ll be the face of the franchise. And it\u2019s all just so surreal to hear that, especially about your brother, who you\u2019ve grown up watching and supported his whole life. I mean, the whole thing is just surreal.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Red Sox star Roman Anthony&#8217;s jaw-dropping sister, Lia Anthony, has broken her silence on the &#8216;surreal&#8217;
