NEW YORK — The red light in the ESPN booth was only seconds from flicking on, with millions of “Sunday Night Baseball” viewers waiting on the other side of the camera. Jessica Mendoza felt her anxiety growing, searching for a way to slow her pulse as the broadcast was about to begin.
No compatible source was found for this media.
She found it in her partner, Aaron Boone, who would playfully shriek, “Oh my God the lights are about to go on and I’m freaking out!”
“Of course he wasn’t freaking out,” Mendoza, now also working for the New York Mets as a special adviser, said last summer.
