"I mean, it's been surreal," Lia, a Florida State University graduate, told WEEI. 

As of Thursday night, Lia's following has reached over 17,400 followers. 

Lia wouldn't reveal who DMed her, and what was said. However, she was laughing at a few. 

"I got a couple baseball [DMs]," she explained. "But it was funny, somebody said something about how they accidentally hit their baseball [in my DMs] and asked me to throw it back."

The whole Anthony family was in the front row at Fenway Park to witness Roman's debut, including father Anthony Sr., brother Anthony Jr., who goes by Tony, and mother Lori.
