Josh Faiola '06 To Be Featured on E:60
10/23/2009 9:15:00 AM | Baseball
Dartmouth alumnus Josh Faiola '06 will be featured on ESPN's award-winning primetime newsmagazine, E:60, in a heartwarming story as the minor league baseball player who brightened the lives of some senior citizens. The episode will air Tuesday, Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. ET.
E:60, which launched in October 2007, combines investigative reporting, in-depth profiles of intriguing sports personalities and features on emerging star athletes. These stories are presented in a fresh and innovative format that incorporates producer/correspondent meetings.
Like many young men, Josh Faiola is chasing his dream of one day playing Major League Baseball. After his release from the Baltimore Orioles organization this past spring, Faiola caught on with the Lake Erie Crushers (Avon, Ohio) of the independent Frontier League. Because the league's players are paid so little, most players live with local host families who volunteer to take a player into their home for the summer. But Faiola's found a different kind of host family — an assisted living facility with 28 senior citizens with an average age of 83. E:60 follows Faiola and the residents of the facility through the summer, documenting one young man chasing his baseball dream, and the effect that dream had on his new family of surrogate grandparents.
A preview clip of the “Assisted Living” feature can be viewed here.
