Red Sox’s Michael Chavis Celebrates Call-Up Anniversary With Funny Tweet

It seems to be a monumental day for a pair of Boston Red Sox players.

While Red Sox outfielder Jackie Bradley Jr. is celebrating his 30th birthday Sunday, second-year infielder Michael Chavis has an occasion of his own to observe — his Major League Baseball call-up anniversary.

Chavis, who joined Boston on April, 19, 2019, honored the event Sunday with a tweet and explained a little bit about joining Boston one year ago. (He made his debut one day later.)

“Today is the 1 yr anniversary of me getting called up, being late to my first MLB game, flight getting delayed, Uber dropping me off a mile from the stadium, walking the last mile carrying my bags sweating in Tampa Florida, all with the BIGGEST smile on my face (because) I made it,” Chavis tweeted.

Chavis’ glass-half-full mindset certainly will help him as the Red Sox await the fate of the 2020 MLB season due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
