For some, it’s just a dream but for one in-house lawyer for the Boston Red Sox, it became a reality:
“Ending up as a lawyer for the Boston Red Sox wasn’t a career David S. Friedman envisioned. I’ve known Dave since 1993 when we started as classmates at Harvard Law School, and if someone had told him back then he’d be working at Fenway Park, he would have laughed and said no way…How did Dave Friedman end up at the Red Sox? “It was an accident,” he says. “A lot of it was being in the right place at the right time.”Like Dave himself, that answer is modest. (Seriously, Dave is one of the nicest guys you could possibly meet.) It doesn’t, however, tell you about the combination of brilliance, hard work, dedication, training, good luck, mentoring, and circuitous path that put him in the right place at the right time. So here’s the full story.”
