Freddy Sanchez
PAWTUCKET RED SOX SECOND BASEMAN
Just six years after graduating from Burbank High School, the
baseball standout made it to the major leagues with the Boston Red
Sox in 2002 ... in his first big-league at-bat, Sanchez, 25, got a
base hit. Since being selected in the 2000 draft, Sanchez has enjoyed
a meteoric rise through the Red Sox organization ... he is currently
with Boston’s triple-A team in Pawtucket, where he leads the league
in hitting with a .403 average ... he also distinguished himself in
2002 by putting together a 27-game hitting streak and reaching base
in 43 straight games ... it was also a great 2002 for Sanchez when he
married his high-school sweetheart Alissa in October.
