Catching up with Brock Holt
Brock Holt has re-entered the lives of Boston sports fans.
The first step was returning to Fenway Park with his family Friday night, popping up on the Green Monster and in the broadcast booths. Then came Sunday, when he appeared on the NESN pregame show to make a big announcement.
“I’m going to say this on air so I guess it is going to be officially official but me and Lakyn (his wife), we want to run the Boston Marathon next year for Dana-Farber,” the 34-year-old Holt said. “She was in, I’ve been on the fence. I feel like that’s a cool thing to say, that you’ve done and this city means to much to us and if we can help out and raise some money and run 26.2 miles, we’ll do it.”
He should have plenty of time to train for the event, with next year's Boston Marathon taking place on April 17.
Holt reiterated he is still not officially retired and would play if the right opportunity was presented. He spent this past spring training with the Braves before being released, having played for the Rangers in 2021.
