If you grew up in Milton, Massachusetts and attended BC High, chances are you dreamed of playing at Fenway Park for the Red Sox. That dream may—
as early as tonight—become a reality for Milton's
Alex Hassan.
The Red Sox called up Hassan from AAA Pawtucket to replace Ryan Lavarnway (who has gone on the DL). Hassan has been on the 40-man roster, but has never actually played at the big league level. His overall minor league stats and his ability to get on-base played a big part in his call-up. Hassan told
WEEI.com's Alex Speier,
"I feel confident in my abilities...My focus has always been what I can do to become the best player I can be." Here's hoping the 26-year old makes a big splash right away.
