Our son, Kevin Walsh, has recently begun his third season working for the Boston Red Sox, the reigning World Series Champions!
Kevin is working at Jet Blue Park, in beautiful Fort Myers, Florida. Jet Blue Park is the Spring Training home of the Red Sox and all the minor league affiliates of the Red Sox as well. Jet Blue Park is a replica of Boston’s Fenway Park and is affectionately known as Fenway South!
Kevin is working in player development and baseball operations. When Spring Training ends at the end of March, Kevin will remain in Fort Myers and work with the minor league affiliates through the summer and fall. It is an incredible opportunity for him.
As many of you know, Kevin has worked part-time for our photography studio since high school. Like most of his generation, he is extremely computer savvy and had taken the lead in managing the digital side of our business. Kevin has also assisted on countless photography sessions and has put in many hours keeping our beautiful studio gardens and ponds looking great!
Last season, Kevin began doing a lot of video work for his minor league team. Baseball teams use video extensively for scouting and player development. The videos Kevin creates are used by management, coaches and players for analysis of all kinds. This season video remains a significant part of what Kevin is doing.
Spring Training is an amazing whirlwind of activity. Every day Kevin gets to interact with new players, veteran players, coaches and management from all levels. Kevin has met some amazing people and has learned a lot about what it takes succeed in this very challenging field.
I’ll be going to visit Kevin for a few days this week. I’ll be sure and post some photos!
