In this episode of Bleav in San Diego Baseball, hosts Alex Miniak and Heath Bell preview the Padres’ pivotal home series against the Boston Red Sox, two teams locked in similar playoff races, before diving into Fenway Park nostalgia.

Heath recalls the surreal experience of watching a game at Fenway one day and pitching on its mound the next—striking out legends like Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz. Alex shares a heartfelt personal story of his connection to Fenway, including a meaningful moment filling in as the Red Sox PA announcer after the passing of his friend and mentor, Carl Beane.

In the debut of their new “Home Run Eats” segment, Alex tastes a classic New England roast beef sandwich from Big Jim’s (@bigjimsroastbeef) in Pacific Beach, rating it a perfect 10 and making Heath extremely jealous.
