Diamondbacks share video of infielder Blaze Alexander making Opening Day roster
The Arizona Diamondbacks made sure to film infield prospect Blaze Alexander's special moment ahead of his Major League debut.
Alexander got the news of a lifetime Wednesday as manager Torey Lovullo brought him into his office to break the good news to him. After asking Alexander if he has family in town, which he answered his parents were, Lovullo said, "Make sure they have a good seat because you're going to be a Big Leaguer tomorrow.
"It's a beautiful thing. You earned it."
Alexander then called his family and told them, "I'm going to the Show. Opening Day."
"Make sure [your parents] have good seats, because you're going to be a big leaguer tomorrow."
