I had the distinct pleasure of trailing Commissioner of Major League Baseball, Bud Selig, as he visited Fenway Park today as the last stop on his farewell tour to ballparks throughout the country. Selig will retire at the conclusion of this season.
What began as a very informative and enjoyable question and answer session with the Boston Red Sox front office turned into a series of stops around the park, highlighted by individual meetings with David Ortiz and Derek Jeter just one day before his last career game.
These are really special moments, and as a baseball fan, I feel lucky to have been able to document them.
I’m looking forward to closing out the 2014 regular season with Derek Jeter’s last career game tomorrow!
