FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The 71st minute of last weekend’s 2-0 loss to Columbus Crew SC came and went with little fanfare, but for New England Revolution midfielder Scott Caldwell, it was an important moment.
It was then that Caldwell played his 10,000th regular-season minute, becoming just the second Homegrown field player in MLS history – along with teammate Diego Fagundez, who hit the mark on April 8 – to accomplish that feat.
“It’s a proud moment,” said Caldwell, who grew up in Braintree, Massachusetts, and was the first-ever captain of the Revolution’s U-18 team in 2008.
