The Red Sox frequently select children to take over public announcing duties for an inning during home games at Fenway Park.
They might have found a good luck charm in a five-year-old fan’s announcing abilities during Michael Chavis‘s fifth-inning at-bat Sunday.
The rookie infielder was greeted by a high-pitched voice as he approached home plate with the Astros leading the Red Sox, 3-1.
“Now batting!” the fan said, to the delight of the Fenway Park crowd. “Second baseman! No. 23! Michael Chavis!”
Chavis offered the announcer’s booth a quick wave before stepping in for his at-bat.
