Hey Everyone,
It just keep getting better and better. Last night was by far the best assignment yet. Jay sent me out with Walt (the camera guy) to Fenway to get some interviews, watch the game, and get the post-game press conference. It was amazing. We get there and the first thing we do is find Jason Bay out on the field. He was extremely nice, and agreed to do a quick interview right there by the Sox dugout. I asked him a few questions, and got the interview done for Fox. After he stuck around for a second and just talked to Walt and I. JayBay is an awesome guy.
After that we went into the locker room! The whole team was in there, just hanging out and getting ready for the game. David Ortiz's son was there (he is one of the cutest kids ever) and Manny Delcarmen was tossing him some wiffle balls to hit. Let me just say, I think I see another slugger in the future. It was an awesome environment, the kind I would expect from the Red Sox. Dustin Pedroia did an interview with all the media for a few minutes.
While we were hanging out in the locker room, Walt tells me to follow him, and we walk up to David Ortiz. I know he looks big on TV, but in person he is just HUGE. Ortiz is the man. Walt knows some of the guys because he's there so much, and apparently him and David are friends. So Walt introduces me to Ortiz and we talked for a few minutes.
We left the locker room and went out onto the field. I've always watched games and wondered what its like on the field. Well, now I know. We walked around on the field, then took a seat in the dugout to escape the rain for a while. I've walked on the field, sat in the dugout, and been in the locker room. It's like a dream come true, haha.
We watched the game, the Sox won, and then went into the press room for the post-game press conference with Terry Francona and Josh Beckett. All in all, it was the best assignment I've been sent out on and I can't wait to do it again. Just and amazing night.
