I’m out here in San Diego, California! Last night, the five members of the Boston Red Sox selected to the 2016 Major League Baseball All-Star game flew to San Diego. jetBlue, the official airline of the Boston Red Sox, flew pitcher Steven Wright, shortstop Xander Bogaerts, right fielder Mookie Betts, center fielder Jackie Bradley Jr., designated hitter David Ortiz and families to the West Coast.
I was asked to join the flight to document everything happening. This was my first time flying on the team charter with the team, and it was an experience I’ll never forget. I tried to show some behind the scenes moments from the trip without being intrusive to the players and their families. It’s a balancing act, but I think some of these images are pretty neat.
Stay tuned for more coverage from the All-Star festivities at PETCO Park!
