CNN —Even after Cam Booser walked away from baseball in 2017 and became a carpenter following a series of injuries and setbacks, he would think about the game every single day.
The 31-year-old relief pitcher has endured a “long journey” to make his MLB debut, he told the league’s website on Friday after he was called up by the Boston Red Sox, becoming the franchise’s oldest player to make his Majors debut in the US since 1947.
Booser had endured a series of injuries and setbacks before his MLB debut.
“I didn’t think about ever actually making a comeback until I started working with them,” Booser said, per the MLB.
“It was just the more I was around the game, the more I couldn’t not be around it.
