Pro golfer and Blue Wahoos co-owner Bubba Watson is working hard at the Winter Meetings

By Corinne Landrey

If you're at the Winter Meetings and you see a guy who looks an awful lot like pro golfer Bubba Watson, chances are you just saw the man himself. Watson may be most famous for his exploits on the golf course, but he's also an active businessman. One of his projects is partial ownership of the Reds' Double-A affiliate, the Pensacola Blue Wahoos.
This week, he's part of the Blue Wahoos delegation to the Winter Meetings, and he's embracing the experience.

In the video up top, you can watch his appearance on MLB Network's Hot Stove with Harold Reynolds and Matt Vasgersian. Afterwards, Watson commemorated the experience with a tweet.

But for Watson, whose father dreamed of him one day pitching for the New York Yankees, the highlight of the Meetings might have been the opportunity to meet his childhood favorite player, Don Mattingly.
