The big news around campus these days is that the Red Sox have drafted senior Corey Vogt, the Owl pitcher with a screaming fast ball. Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein picked the right hander in the 39th round of the Major League Baseball first-year player draft.
A die-heart Yankees fan, Vogt will have to change his allegiance. “They’re paying my salary now, so I won’t have a hard time with it,” he said.
Congrats – Good Luck!
Corey,
I like your response to the reporter’s question of your affiliation with the NY Yanks, as opposed to the Red Sox, who drafted you. Your answer: “…they’re paying my salary now, so I won’t have a hard time with it,” is classic. It shows your are a pragmatic young man and you will do a great job for the Sox. Best of luck in Bean Town! – Byron, Class of 1988
