May 2024 Luncheon Report:
Vaughn Grissom and Ryan Lavarnway share excitement for the future and perspective on the past
New Red Sox second baseman Vaughn Grissom and former catcher Ryan Lavarnway offered attendees at the May BoSox Club Luncheon insights looking toward a bright future and stories from the recent past.
Award-winning Boston Globe MLB columnist Peter Abraham served as emcee for the event, leading interviews with the featured guests.
Grissom, whom the Red Sox acquired in an off-season trade with the Atlanta Braves for pitcher Chris Sale, expressed his energy for the game to the crowd, answering questions with enthusiasm and wit. When Abraham mentioned Grissom being selected in the 11th round of the 2019 MLB draft, the young second baseman joked that he refers to it as being ‘selected I the 1st round of the 11th day of the draft.”
Grissom is a fan of Fenway Park, having made his MLB debut there on August 10, 2022 after being called up to the Braves. That night he went 2-4 with a stolen base and a tremendous homerun over the Green Monster in a game he referred to as “dream come true.”
Now that he has settled into the regular second base role, Grissom looks forward to a long stint with the Red Sox for many years to come.
While Vaughn Grissom offered his excitement for the future of playing with the Red Sox, Ryan Lavarnway offered his perspective on his career as a journeyman in the game. Now a motivational speaker, Lavarnway is a great storyteller and recounted many tales of his ups and downs throughout his career, including his 26 times being called up to the majors and being sent back down. His first call up to the Red Sox happened on August 18, 2011, when infielder Kevin Youkilis was placed on the injured list. Lavarnway delighted the crowd with stories of his rookie season meeting star players such as Jonny Gomes and being motivated by his dedication to winning.
Lavarnway also discussed some of his MLB records, including being signed by the Cincinnati Reds in 2019 just hours after being released by the Yankees, and becoming the first MLB player with three or more extra base hits and six or more RBI in his first game with a new team later that night. He also holds the dubious distinction of tying a major league record for recording four passed balls in one inning while catching knuckleballer Steven Wright.
Following BoSox luncheon tradition three military guests were welcomed to the event and thanked for their service. May’s military guests included US Army members Staff Sergeant Alexander Lorati, Sergeant First Class Brandon Bambary, and Sergeant First Class Baily Mikos.
