Love content like this. Good stuff. Respect to the kid for taking care of all the boys.
26 isnt a kid...... lol
@@FastDuDeJiunn imagine commenting on a post about Boston sports not knowing that everyone is “kid” 🙃🤡
@@raffyschaw2622 he a clown because 26 is considered a kid… um okay…
@@FastDuDeJiunn older than some of the players
This is just so wholesome, seeing how all the players and umpires treat him with so much respect just makes me happy🤞🏽
@gianna I love your videos 🤤😍
Hopefully that's how it is and not just for the cameras! 📷
they’re doing it for the video
Yeah on camera
@@sion2697 No, they are not. Not speaking for every player or coach, but bat boys are highly respected throughout the league
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.
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.
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!
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.
What a great hustler! Thanks for doing an awesome job to help everyone have their best game possible.
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.
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
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.
Never knew the bat boy had such a relationship with the players, and visa versa...
Being a die hard Yankees fan this was a great video. How the players and the umpires respect his hard work. Great job.
What an awesome job! I honestly never knew that much went into being a Bat Boy. Much respect!
HUGE RESPECT its a lot of hard work but he does it well and is very friendly too.
No number on the field but #1 in our hearts, kap is the 🐐
This is so cool. Please do more of these videos with other employees
Wholesome and very humble dude. He LOVES his job
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.
Love this kid ... an absolute beautiful hardworking caring humanbeing .... I salute you kid ⚾️🌟🤩👍
Literally my dream job, glad to see him living it out!!!
This was really cool to watch! Had no clue how much went into the job. Thanks for posting!
Great video thanks for showing us what it's like to be behind the scenes.
This was so awesome! Thanks for the behind the scenes look!!!!
This is an awesome video man. Thank you for making this
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!
I never understood that hey let me give this kid a ball who doesn’t care or remember it..
Great guy working for the greater good of the team, keep him around!
Absolutely fantastic!
This is awesome !! Loved seeing this side of the game
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⚾️
Awesome job, Colin!!!! 🙂
One of the best videos I’ve seen! Loved it! Great insight!
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.
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
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
This is amazing. Do more! Colin is quite the man on the team!
This dude is a class act. Well done. Got a feeling he will be around the Sox for many years to come.
Kid deserves all the respect
Loved that!
I was a Batboy myself for the Asheville Tourist back in 1992. Loved it. Best job I have ever had.
This is like a dream job! So cool to get to see what goes into it
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
Love to see this kind of content wish more teams did this
I love this content... great job!
Thanks for sharing.
such a wonderful job I luv this guy
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!
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.
As a Red Sox fan, that was great! I had no idea about that. Very cool.
this was awesome
i have a whole new level of respect for bat boys and girls now
I really did like this video. I want to see more content like this. How he talks to the umpires is cool.
Did I just become a Red Sox fan because of Colin Jones?! Great job taking care of the kids at the games.
This is a sick and hard job. Would love to do this one day
Your so lucky!!!! Number 1 Boston Red Sox Fan
I love how he acts like it’s normal to hug David Ortiz
This might be one of my favorite videos on youtube ever.
Wow, a lot of work and a lot to know. Not an easy job. Much respect!
Just wanted to be a bat boy my entire life. Glad I got to see behind the scenes!
what a great video. Sox are lucky to have Colin!
Brooo didn’t realized how much they did. Bad ass!
awesome dude and an awesome video, always have said i'd love to have a clubhouse job, lowkey gotta be a surreal job
Give this man a raise
Amazing job ❤ go Red Sox
This was so dope. Great vibes!!!
Need more BTS content like this. Like clubhouse stuff, people just working at Fenway, more A Day In The Lifes. These are awesome!
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.
This is incredible. Talk about a dream job!
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!!
I’m loving the BDS energy! Have a Day big fella!
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
My man has a great gig. I’m jelly!
Loved watching this video
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
Thats amazing
Working at the beautiful Fenway must be a dream for everyone involved. Great video.
Wow, this is four sure a full time job ! Well done sir.
Awesome vid!
I smiled this whole vid. Hope Colin is still with the sox
Wow!!! This viedo is just priceless if you you love the game of Baseball.
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.
He’s living the dream 💙❤️
This was awesome to watch
Wow that’s a tough job. Impressive. Love the behind the scenes stuff.
I'd love to have a job like that. I was on the grounds crew for a AA team but this would be straight up amazing!
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.
This looks so fun ngl
Love this. Working man right there. Knowing now from this video I would love this work. As a baseball fan I would have loved to be a radio play by play guy or a ground crew guy or the guy chasing foul balls down the foul ball line or this guy. I can only imagine.
Great content and a great guy
Well that was alight!
Awesome Video very interesting and informative please do more behind the scenes videos
Legend
Great little documentary!
Living the Dream! Hard work and all.
that's a long day! I'm sure it's great when they're winning, not so great getting things thrown at you, but he's got a great attitude
love colin
Man that is seriously the coolest job tho, super charismatic dude
Im.jealous of this job id love to be there every game working for the team
What a super cool dude! Seems to be the most important person in the diamond! Really enjoyed this 10 mins
Wicked cool, I’m insanely jealous
He’s knows his shit!
