Watch: Longtime Red Sox minor leaguer, Massachusetts native, records first MLB hit at Fenway Park

Following 4,233 career minor-league at-bats, Westbrook was 0-for-2 with a walk and a hit-by-pitch over his first five plate appearances for the Red Sox after being call-up from Triple-A Worcester on Sunday. 

However, when called upon to be a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of Boston's 9-0 win over the Atlanta Braves, he felt this was his "spot." 

Facing a 3-2 count, Westbrook pulled a curveball into left field, achieving a dream over 11 years in the making. 

For the Springfield, Massachusetts native, Fenway Park couldn't have been a more fitting backdrop. But, with several family members in attendance, including his 86-year-old grandfather, the moment was even more special. 

"It's all for them, man," Westbrook said. 

A fifth-round pick of the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2013 MLB Draft, Westbrook has bounced around a bit over his career, playing for several organizations, including the Milwaukee Brewers, Detroit Tigers, New York Yankees and now the Red Sox. 

He recorded 1,179 hits in the minor leagues before finally receiving the call to the Majors. 

There's no telling what the future holds for the 29-year-old moving forward. However, Westbrook isn't taking his time with the Red Sox for granted. 

"I'm just soaking it all in, and I've truly enjoyed every second and every pitch, and I'll continue to do so, Westbrook said."
