Good news call took young Raemaki by surprise

When Jerome Raemaki received a telephone call while he was at training confirming selection for the national team, it was the last thing he was expecting.

“We had Black Sox squad training that night so I thought he [Black Sox manager, Doug Golightly] was checking up to see how things were going with that,” Raemaki said.

However, last week’s call from Golightly was to tell Raemaki, 16, that he had made the team for the June-July North America tour.

“I was quite shocked,” Raemaki said.

However, he was not the only one shocked to hear the news.

“Dad couldn’t believe it either. I waited until I got home from training to tell him. I think he was more excited than me.” Click here to read the complete story at the New Zealand’s Dominion Post
