NEW YORK -- Red Sox interim manager Torey Lovullo joked on Monday that he would bump up his workout program at the team hotel a little earlier in hopes of having a chance encounter with President Barack Obama.
As it turns out, it was no joke. Lovullo was hastier in getting to the gym on Tuesday, and he was able to not only see Obama, but talk to him and pose for a picture with him.
The Red Sox and Obama have been staying at the same Manhattan hotel this week. Obama was in town for the United Nations General Assembly.
