Scotty McCreery is a huge baseball fan, having played the game in high school. He was a pitcher for Garner High School (North Carolina), even reaching the state finals. His favorite professional team, the Boston Red Sox, was eliminated in the run this year, so it’s the Kansas City Royals versus the New York Mets. While he doesn’t have a dog in the race, he’s still catching some plays during the World Series.

“I don’t really have a dog in this fight, because my team is not in it, but the Mets were really good to me this year. I went to a few of their games so they’re kind of who I was going for,” says Scotty. “It looks like Kansas City’s kinda doing well right now, but we’ll find out. I was, AM, a fan of the Red Sox, so I found out in 2004 that anything’s possible – you can be down a few games and still come back to win it. So, we’ll see what happens.”

The Royals are ahead in the series 2-0, and Game 3 of the World Series takes place Friday (October 30th).

Scotty is making his way up the country charts with his latest single, “Southern Belle.”
