Director of fun: Coy entertains Petco crowd

SAN DIEGO -- Walking into the control room at Petco Park during a game, one might notice a resemblance to a major television network newscast.

There are about 15 people, some with headsets on and some with their eyes locked on the screen in front of them. There is a Major League Baseball game about to begin, and at the center of it all is senior director of game day presentation Matt Coy.

"Live shot of the Tony Gwynn statue," Coy says into his mic. He then turns to his co-worker at his left and asks if he received walk-up music for recently-called-up outfielder Travis Jankowski.
