Red Sox: Michael Chavis commemorates 1-year anniversary of call-up

Getting called up to the majors for the first time is a memory that baseball players never forget. For Michael Chavis, that moment came one year ago yesterday and he commemorated the occasion by sharing a story about arriving to the Boston Red Sox clubhouse for the first time.

The most exciting day of his career was also a stressful one. The Red Sox were in Tampa Bay for a series with the Rays when Chavis got the call informing him that he was joining the major league roster. In a tweet that he shared on the anniversary of his call-up, Chavis explained why he was late to his first major league game.
