The Boston Red Sox began their quest for a second straight World Series title on Thursday in Seattle, and a familiar face around New England was on the field before first pitch.
Former Patriots and Seattle Seahawks safety Lawyer Milloy was mingling with reporters at T-Mobile Park while the Red Sox were taking batting practice. It turns out Milloy was attending the game as a credentialed member of the media, according to WEEI’s Rob Bradford.

Yes, the former Patriot is wearing a Mariners sweatshirt, but Milloy grew up in Tacoma, Wash., and also finished his career with the Seahawks.
Prior to starting his career with the Patriots, Milloy was chosen in the MLB Draft on two separate occasions. He was selected by the Cleveland Indians as a pitcher out of high school, and then in the 19th round by the Detroit Tigers in the 1995 MLB Draft.
Of course, Milloy opted to stick with football, but he did play three years of baseball for the University of Washington before being selected by the Patriots in the second round of the 1996 NFL Draft. Their 1994 squad squared off against Georgia Tech in the mid-rounds of the College World Series. That Yellow Jackets team was led by Jason Varitek and Nomar Garciaparra.
Either way, Lawyer Milloy can now add ‘credentialed photographer’ to his loaded resume.
