Been there, done that.

Being a batboy (albeit for a AAA team) was one of the greatest experiences of my life. I met Jeter, Posada, Rivera, Pettite and Reggie Jackson (name that affiliate) and a few other who going through the minors at the time... It was a great learning experience and fun.

There were some jerks who thought it was their role to treat BBs as less than human but there were others who took the time out of their pre game rituals to talk to a batboy on technique and stuff. They really were trying to continue the game on to younger generations.

I scored on so many player bats, baseballs, free gloves and batting gloves. Truly a fun time.

I can only imagine the stories this guy could tell.

The Columbus Clippers? AAA affiliate of the evil Yankees? How did Reggie Jackson get into the mix? Did he show up for a promotion or something?
