Dave Eid grew up not too far away in Auburn, Massachusetts. Even at a very young age I knew I wanted to somehow be involved with Sports when I got older. One of my greatest thrills as a youngster was going to Fenway Park with my dad, brother and sister. We would go to a few games every year and I remember how excited I would get walking up the ramp along the first base side and the first thing I would see is that big Green Monster in left field. As a youngster I played both Ice Hockey & Baseball.
