Sixth Grade Kidsday Reporters interview Mets’ Todd FrazierBy: Brendan Bohn, Gianna Bommarito, Alex Bedard, Gabriel Beschloss & Mrs. Roberts

Sixth graders in Mrs. Madden and Mrs. Roberts’ English Language Arts class at Garden City Middle School were so excited when Pat Mullooly, editor of Kidsday, informed them that they would be interviewing Todd Frazier from the New York Mets. The whole class put their reading, research, and writing skills to work to prepare for the interview with this star baseball player.

Alex, Gabe, Brendan and Gianna arrived at Citi Field with their interview questions and baseballs, prepared for the big event. As soon as they entered the Mets clubhouse, Todd Frazier, a third baseman for the New York Mets, autographed their baseballs and sat down with them to answer their questions. He explained that his dad was his role model; taught him how to play baseball; and that as a kid, he enjoyed playing with his two older brothers. Todd now has a son who also likes to play baseball.

Throughout the interview, Todd shared many experiences that showed he is a compassionate, caring and talented player. The students learned some fun facts about how he received his nickname “Toddfather,” and the story behind the salt and pepper shaker routine, and why he loves Frank Sinatra. They were so excited to learn that Todd is quickly getting better from his injury, since he’s currently on the DL.

The students wanted to know what advice he had for kids today. Todd shared that they should stick with one thing they really want to do, and work really hard at that one thing, then they’ll be successful.

The kids wished Todd a speedy recovery. Let’s Go Mets!To read the entire Kidsday article go to:
