This week, Shawn Anderson and Lou Olsen are joined by David Mellor.
The 2018 Glenn Burke Memorial Courage Award recipient talks to the boys about his long (and tragic) journey to become the Boston Red Sox Director of Grounds, working the field at County Stadium in Milwaukee alongside Bernie Brewer, his struggles with PTSD and how his service dog Drago has helped him every step of the way.
Oh…David also talked about that time he hung out at Fenway Park with President George H. W. Bush.
