It’s crazy to think that April 12 will mark the beginning of my 15th season working for the Reading Fightin Phils.

15 summers of baseball.

There have definitely been great moments and a fair share of not so great moments. I have met a number of amazing people and had some very cool experiences. There was the night after a game when I watched the Philadelphia game with the Reading manager all while discussing base running tactics. And the trip to the Lehigh Valley IronPigs game with the other summer interns. Let’s not forget all of the crazy antics we got up to in the deck stand.

When I started working at the stadium in 2005, I never thought that I would be there for five years, let alone 10 or 15. At the time, it was a summer job that I thought would be fun since I already loved baseball.

It turned out to be so much more.

I’m not good at math so I can’t tell you how many hot dogs, pizza slices, or dishes of ice cream I have served in that time, but trust me when I tell you it is a very high number.

I don’t want this to turn into a super sappy post, that’s not my style, so I am going to end it here. The new season is right around the corner and I am so excited to see what sort of adventures or crazy antics I can get up to this summer.

Stay tuned for more crazy memories and new stories from Baseballtown!
