As Mickey Gasper gracefully navigated the ebbs and flows of life in the Minors, he never stopped believing in his dream.
Now 30, Gasper is thriving with the Red Sox and actualizing the potential those in his circle always knew he had.
"It still feels surreal to me," said his mother, Livia Tumin-Gasper. "I canโt believe it. I say it to my husband all the time. 'Thatโs your name on the back of his jersey. Thatโs our kid.'"
Now, with a full mustache and a nourished soul, Gasper is maximizing his opportunity. More on his journey: https://t.co/5IQY035Jka @BDCSox@TomahawksMHS@MerrHS_Baseball@_BryantBaseball@BryantAthletics
