Red Sox Dustin Perdroia On College Recruiting

Dustin Pedroia of the Boston Red Sox, talks about how he got recruited to play baseball in Arizona State University. ""Yeah, it was pretty hectic, I came out here on my first trip. I had four other trips planned out, and I liked it our here, I wanted to come out here and play in the Pac 10. So I cancelled all my other trips and comitted. The first few week of that process, was kind of a zoo, but it all figured itself out. I just answered the phone and was nice and polite. You have to figure out where you want to go to school, there could be a lot of places that recruit you. You just have to figure out where you want to be. Arizona state for me was the perfect fit, and I wanted to come in and play right away. I got that opportunity, so it was a great fit for me. I wanted to stay on the west coast and play in the PAC 10. Obviously Arizona state's baseball program is one of the best in the country every year, so I knew if I went there I would have a just of being drafted and playing proffesional baseball. That was pretty much a big part of my decision.""
