Love content like this. Good stuff. Respect to the kid for taking care of all the boys.

[@FastDuDeJiunn]

26 isnt a kid...... lol

[@raffyschaw2622]

@@FastDuDeJiunn imagine commenting on a post about Boston sports not knowing that everyone is “kid” 🙃🤡

[@LastLapGod]

@@raffyschaw2622 he a clown because 26 is considered a kid… um okay…

[@giannamichaels9010]

This is just so wholesome, seeing how all the players and umpires treat him with so much respect just makes me happy🤞🏽

[@imalright1752]

@gianna I love your videos 🤤😍

[@musicalmelodies3595]

Hopefully that's how it is and not just for the cameras! 📷

[@sion2697]

they’re doing it for the video

[@JH-rz4xi]

Yeah on camera

[@bowlchamps37]

@@sion2697 No, they are not. Not speaking for every player or coach, but bat boys are highly respected throughout the league

[@onemaddad3823]

What a dope job lol. That’s awesome. Especially how all the players and umps respect him. I play baseball for 17 years and never realized how involved these guys actually are. I like the relationship they have with the ump.

[@tylertalk6746]

I wish baseball (and other professional sports for that matter) highlighted the work of the crew more like this. It really shows the passion and how much work goes into MLB teams.

[@SmokeEater509]

This is awesome. Dude could easily be the director of gameday operations on the collegiate level just from watching how he multitasks. Love seeing people work hard and appreciate the position they're in.

[@DiffuseMoose]

So cool to see this. I've always wondered what a Bat Boy did as well. Honestly, it's amazing to see Colin give away so many souvenirs to the kids. With one simple gesture like that, you could literally be changing their lives and possibly inspire one of them to become a professional baseball player down the line. Great stuff. Thank you for sharing!

[@eric6593]

I like how you take care of the fans because everyday except for the season ticket holders it's a new group of fans and the kids might never get a chance to interact with a ballplayer, but they will remember that they got a ball at the game.

[@stevehearn6971]

We sat behind Colin once or twice. Kid works his butt off. And is great people. 💪

[@Anthonys_S]

Not being a baseball person I actually had no idea that there was a bat boy but This is so great, he really takes pride in his work and is humble and the guys and officials all treat him just like he’s one of them , great to see . Also how much stuff this guy has to remember , it’s crazy

[@DRIPSONE73]

This video is excellent I’m a Mets fan but this is what all teams need to show behind the scenes making everyone look human

[@bomrakovcic9213]

I’m a life long Mets fan and I agree with you 100%

[@gwynwellliver4489]

What a great hustler! Thanks for doing an awesome job to help everyone have their best game possible.

[@jerrycosme4273]

Being a die hard Yankees fan this was a great video. How the players and the umpires respect his hard work. Great job.

[@rosepugh2912]

I love how he acts like it’s normal to hug David Ortiz

[@josecordero4064]

These videos are awesome! I've been to ton of games during the 2022 season, and He was a class act every time. On more than 1 time he came over and made sure my daughter got a used game ball! If you see this just know we appreciate everything you do and look forward to seeing you during the 2023 season! Keep up the great work Col!

[@LastLapGod]

I never understood that hey let me give this kid a ball who doesn’t care or remember it..

[@drew7319]

As a NY Yankee fan and a New Yorker i cant stress enough how much my wife and i love the city of Boston and Loved Fenway , i got to be on the field and touch the Green Monster and to see the Fenway from the players point of view was just so cool...

[@TheRaginCajun6]

I did this for 4 years with the New Orleans Zephyrs former Triple A affiliate of the Astros and Nats during that time. I loved it. My last game was two days before Hurricane Katrina made landfall

[@NicholasBhagasinsan]

This is so cool. Please do more of these videos with other employees

[@chrispekrul4656]

No number on the field but #1 in our hearts, kap is the 🐐

[@elrobo3568]

In 1958 and 59 I was bat boy for the Washington senators. My duties were to keep lemons and oranges sliced and in the water bucket, that there were at least 4 ladles for the players to drink from (pre OSHA) and keeping Beeman's gum on the end of the bench. I also took care of the catchers mask and wiped the caked tobacco spit off the leather guard (I think that's why I developed a dislike for tobacco) . I did get to have one of the best seats for the games! And then they went to be the Twins.

[@AP-si1tw]

Literally my dream job, glad to see him living it out!!!

[@billhull6842]

I enjoyed your video. In college I was a manager for the football team. I might not have been a player, but I was treated as part of the team. Traveling with the team, being in the locker room, being on the field and just talking with the players because they are friends. It is fun being that close to the players and you have each other's backs. Great video. Brings back memories.

[@DFrost25]

What an awesome job! I honestly never knew that much went into being a Bat Boy. Much respect!

[@rafaelramirez1507]

Love this kid ... an absolute beautiful hardworking caring humanbeing .... I salute you kid ⚾️🌟🤩👍

[@zomgoat5333]

HUGE RESPECT its a lot of hard work but he does it well and is very friendly too.

[@ohcanada204]

i have a whole new level of respect for bat boys and girls now

[@FenderStrat1975]

I was a Batboy myself for the Asheville Tourist back in 1992. Loved it. Best job I have ever had.

[@joshuareihl6945]

Kid deserves all the respect

[@myothercarisadelorean8957]

Cool story. Kind of wish I had a similar job where I was constantly moving and not stuck at a desk creating TPS cover sheets.

[@jesuszaragoza6554]

Wholesome and very humble dude. He LOVES his job

[@Robe7783]

He is not a kid but a man who is part of a team/organization playing a kids game at the highest level. He seems to be a nice, humble person with a ton of responsibilities! These are the great stories of professional sports. The stories of the people who are not making millions of dollars but simply just getting it done!!

[@t-mo199]

Phils phan here, absolutely love this. Would love to see a day in the life of our own hardworking Bat Boys. Their work does not go unnoticed!!!

[@supertruckerbigO]

Besides being a player this is hands down the 2nd best job on the team this guy makes kids just as happy as the players

[@BGYMix]

This is an awesome video man. Thank you for making this

[@jamesdardon9668]

Did I just become a Red Sox fan because of Colin Jones?! Great job taking care of the kids at the games.

[@brianmacklin8625]

Thank you to whom ever put that together. It was nice seeing what goes on behind the scenes and in the dugout. What got me wasn't the interaction with the players or umpires. It was seeing the kids reaction when they received a baseball from you. Thank you and let's go SOX

[@tonyguadagno6917]

Yankee fan but I have to say I really enjoyed watching your video!!! I guess it's baseball and we fans are still little kids when we get to the park!

[@TheOfficialPHC]

One of the best videos I’ve seen! Loved it! Great insight!

[@jimdellavecchia4594]

Unsung heroes, like roadies and crew of a rock band!!!

[@jethrojacinto2798]

Need more BTS content like this. Like clubhouse stuff, people just working at Fenway, more A Day In The Lifes. These are awesome!

[@moeday99]

This dude is a class act. Well done. Got a feeling he will be around the Sox for many years to come.

[@TheWalkerjrc]

Makes watching a game in a different light. Well done sir.

[@jakecastroo]

This is a sick and hard job. Would love to do this one day

[@ElliottEats]

This just got recommended to me and I am loving it. I know this season the league is auditing bat boys and girls, to make sure they're quick and keep up with the pace of play. I know this guy won't have any problems securing his job!

[@codyluka8355]

A lot of work behind the scenes! Much respect to these guys who make it look so easy!

[@luismejia2941]

Takes me back when I was a ball boy for the Salt lake Bees triple A team, used to loved the dinner and game itself definitely do not miss cleaning and scrubbing shoes after a rainy game.

[@michaelm5]

Man I been a redsox fan since I was a kid I’m 35 now and had the pleasure of going to my first redsox game last weekend. I love the redsox and I love Boston I even caught a foul ball to take home. -Love from Texas

[@ernestolupercio3168]

Brooo didn’t realized how much they did. Bad ass!

[@thomasarias773]

Clubhouse and equipment staffs are the hardest working members of any team. The hours are ridiculous, but not as much as the responsibilities are. Bravo!

[@tomyoung9039]

As a Red Sox fan, that was great! I had no idea about that. Very cool.

I’m loving the BDS energy! Have a Day big fella!

[@superweedenjoyer]

This video put a smile on my face

[@markyuen2312]

I hear that these bat boys rack in the "Tips" at the end of each Series (and seasons) from the players for doing a great job.

[@frankjosephjr3722]

This is awesome !! Loved seeing this side of the game

[@joshpierce7449]

Never realized the responsibility of a ball boy. Nice to see the respect shown to him and vice versa! It takes a village!

This was so awesome! Thanks for the behind the scenes look!!!!

[@williambudiac5711]

Awesome video Red Sox! Can we expect a video about the day in the life of a bat boy on the road anytime soon?

[@Mikhael23arab]

I was there for that game against Baltimore. Almonte smashed a home run. Good game

[@voxhumana2able]

LOVED this video. More of this please! We baseball people love behind the scenes content.

[@jessiebarzola6918]

Lot of appreciation for this guy's hard work! Also, I'm convinced Devers is secretly fluent in English but he's just too shy to openly speak English to the press and everyone in public.

[@pringuette]

Absolutely fantastic!

[@rachell7498]

This was really cool to watch! Had no clue how much went into the job. Thanks for posting!

[@MikeConrow]

Give this man a raise

Great video thanks for showing us what it's like to be behind the scenes.

[@theathjr]

Wow that’s a tough job. Impressive. Love the behind the scenes stuff.

[@ljw3491]

What a great guy who loves his job. They have a way more responsibilities than I thought! Nice to see the way the players and umpires appreciate him. Great video, thanks.

[@Ye7l]

What a dope job

Guardians fan here, but this was a really neat video. Well done, Colin.

Im.jealous of this job id love to be there every game working for the team

[@marcmaza2821]

He’s knows his shit!

[@msh1754]

Funny how much the job has changed from my time on the bench! keep going, lot of things still the same but different. Good to see, and bring back some memories! thanks for that

[@ChessemillPerezChristopher]

Living the Dream! Hard work and all.

[@bomrakovcic9213]

Not only was this an awesome video, but the bat boy is an awesome Kid ! He hit the lottery jackpot with this job

[@zeus6793]

Absolutely fantastic! I started out being extremely envious, just imagining being surrounded with the Sox for my JOB. Working at Fenway! On the team, but not a player. I'm getting chills thinking about it. Then....it went on and on and on with all the crap he has to take care of, and I was immediately more realistic that I really don't want to work that damn hard. Looks like he does a hell of a job with it too. Good luck to him.

[@figurative283]

I see this kid and just think wow he’s living the life

[@notglomethazine]

Dream job as a huge baseball fan 💯

[@MARKBART02]

Love this, coming from a minor league batboy this video makes it that much easier to explain what I do and the relationship I carry with the players

[@thomasalden6263]

As a Red Sox fan I’d love this job, my grandpa was a bat boy for the cubs in the 30s

[@FigbootonPens]

This was an awesome feature.

[@jobot6]

Loved that!

Redsox need to keep this dude, has high energy…

Mad respect from Gatlinburg Tennessee Great Smoky mountains national park...

[@jacobmeakin6269]

I really did like this video. I want to see more content like this. How he talks to the umpires is cool.

[@Parruskiii]

This is like a dream job! So cool to get to see what goes into it

[@r.j.gilmore9772]

I NEVER knew who the bat boy was for my favorite baseball team now I know! I learned a lot just by watching this clip this guy does alot! I never knew what all a bat boy does that's a lot of responsibility. I love it! It also brings joy to my soul to see the love that this guy gets from the players and everyone that's apart of the Boston Red Sox including the umps pretty awesome! #BostonStrong⚾️

[@Anthonygarcia-dr7oi]

this was awesome

[@zacharysmith8902]

This boy has muscles

Great guy working for the greater good of the team, keep him around!
