Our media partner, PressBox, caught up with Orioles closer Zach Britton.

PressBox: Who was your favorite athlete when you were a kid?

Zach Britton: I enjoyed watching Tom Glavine pitch. A [fellow] left-handed pitcher, and the Braves were my favorite team.

PB: If you werenโ€™t playing baseball, what would you be doing for a living?

ZB: Itโ€™s hard to say. I feel like thereโ€™d have been a lot of things Iโ€™d have done differently. I was focused on baseball from such a young age. My dad builds homes, so maybe something like that. My brotherโ€™s a police officer, so thereโ€™s so many paths I couldโ€™ve taken.
