Break Into The Business Of Baseball

Congratulations to Brian Rodgers of Hamilton-Wenham High School in Hamilton, Mass., who was selected to intern with the Boston Red Sox during summer 2012. Thanks to everyone who participated in this year’s program.

Bentley is giving a high school student the opportunity of a lifetime — a one-month internship with the Boston Red Sox. It’s part of the “Break into the Business of Baseball” program sponsored by Bentley and MLB.com.

Through this program, high school students submit a 100-word essay explaining why they would like to “Break into the Business of Baseball” by working with the Boston Red Sox. Representatives from Bentley and MLB.com judge the essays based on originality, creativity, interest in business, passion and clarity.

"The knowledge I have garnered over the last month has significantly surpassed what I could learn in a classroom. This great opportunity has given me a step ahead of my soon-to-be classmates in college and an unparalleled motivation to become an intelligent, aggressive, and successful businessman." 
 - William Keough, previous winner
