The head coach of the Red Sox came up with a profound historical question, and Campbell was pleasantly surprised, and his dream came true

MLB Major League Baseball Boston Red Sox flew to Mexico today (25th) to play two overseas exhibition games, and Kristian Campbell, a superstar on the farm, was asked a history question by head coach Alex Cora, and even if his historical record is not A, he can know what he means.

Cora's question is: Can you name a major league player from Georgia Tech?

"We strongly believe that he can contribute, and we have different ways to do that, and I think it's a good decision, and he needs to learn more about Georgia Tech's baseball history, but he's done well," Cora said.

The 22-year-old Campbell, who is No. 2 at Red Sox Farms and No. 7 in the Big League 100 Rookies, challenged him to make the 26-man roster for the Infrared Opener during spring training, and now he's finally making it to the big leagues.

This has allowed him to join the ranks of Georgian Polytechnic legends such as Nomar Garciaparra and Jason Varitek in the history of the Red Sox, as well as other major league players such as Mark Teixeira, Kevin Brown, Charlie Blackmon and others.

"It's definitely a dream come true, it's very exciting, and I've called my parents, my siblings and everybody else to know that they're all screaming and happy for me on the other end of the line, and it's been a big dream of my life so far, and it's a very special moment," Campbell said.

It is worth mentioning that this year's Red Sox spring training has three rookies competing for the opening 26-man roster, the other two are Roman Anthony, who is ranked No. 1 on the farm and No. 2 among the top 100 rookies, and Marcelo Mayer, who is No. 3 on the Red Sox Farm and No. 12 on the top 100 rookies, but Campbell in the 2023 draft is one step ahead of Mayer in the 2021 draft and Anthony in the 2022 draft.

"I'm also happy for him, in terms of what he did last year and what kind of player he is, and even though he didn't live up to his expectations in spring training, everybody here knows what he's capable of, so I'm looking forward to seeing him perform in the big leagues," Mayer said.

Campbell also knows that this is the result of a long period of hard work. "I see this as a moment in my whole life that I have worked so far, not in a few weeks, but in about 15 years. This was not only a major event for us to move from Chattanooga, Tennessee, to Boston, but also for me and my family."
