Next up to the plate was a WVU transfer student that came to play for us that season, and he hit a grand slam to win the game.

What is your favorite baseball-related memory?

May 26, 2013. The Red Sox trailed the Cleveland Indians 5-2 heading to the bottom of the ninth at Fenway Park. Most of us thought the game was over, except me, who stubbornly held out hope the Sox would pull off the comeback. I've always been one for dramatic, come-from-behind finishes, and the Red Sox left me happy that afternoon as Jacoby Ellsbury smacked the game-winning double towards the Green Monster to give Boston the 6-5 win. I've never heard Fenway Park louder than after that win, and that includes Big Papi's retirement ceremony.

Favorite restaurant?

Al Forno in Providence, Rhode Island. The Italian food is unbeatable.

Last book you read?
