Around SBN: 2012 Africa Cup Of Nations Final

Gettin' Fox-y with Jake "Boom Boom" Fox. He talks hitting, fielding, pressure and how he got that nickname...

Jake has a good attitude..

It’s hard to remember that these guys really are the best hitters on the planet when you see an interview like that. I like how he clarified his skills and performance with some humility and seems to really want to be a good clubhouse guy. THanks for sharing this with us.

Thanks Sarah

As always you put out fun videos to watch, I like this guy hopefully he’ll gel in a fielding position someday.

If the world didn't suck we would all fall off.

This makes me like him even more...

Nice to see humility in a pro-athlete (something you don’t see in a lot of other sports). Hope he earns the chance to stay around for a while.

Thanks Sarah!

fox

is a super nice guy. always goes out of his way to say hi—using my name—and seems like he’s determined to figure out the hot corner if that’s what it’s gonna take to help this team. definitely one to root for.
