"Working for the Tom Sox was the best summer internship I could've had. It was awesome to be able to try my hand at all aspects from play by play, to making packages, to social media, and more. Besides the invaluable experience, it was just an incredibly fun time in a great community. I would do it all over again in a second."

"My time with the Tom Sox was really fun and it taught me a lot about baseball. Getting to work games and talk about the game with my coworkers on a nightly basis gave me a deeper understanding of both the strategy of the game and the technical scoring of the game."
Abby Cebula

"In addition to a fun and amazing summer, my internship with the Tom Sox allowed me to gain valuable experience both in front of and behind the camera. The knowledge gained helped me land an internship with NBC Sports Washington that fall and I am still with the network as a Pre/Post Producer for our Wizards coverage."
Brooke Steach
Media Intern

Now: ESPN
"Working for the Tom Sox this past summer was an amazing experience that helped me grow so much as a journalist. Not only did I get broadcasting reps, but I got to write game recaps, take photos, host podcasts, and even make graphics for social media. I wouldn't have improved like I did without the Tom Sox media program, and I made so many amazing friends I will be in contact with forever! Charlottesville was such a welcoming community from the time I came to town, and wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else for my final summer internship as a college student."
