A new internship, announced by the independent minor league team, the Brockton Rox, will be dedicated in the memory of the Emerson journalism student accidentally killed in 2004 by the Boston police during a near riot around Fenway Park after the Red Sox beat the Yankees to win the pennant. “The Victoria Snelgrove Media Internship”, which will be awarded to an aspiring journalist hosting pregame and postgame radio shows, hopefully will focus attention on the senseless violence that sometimes follows sporting contests.
