Red Sox fans who attended the Jimmy Fund Fantasy Day at Fenway Park on July 18 were given an opportunity to try out to become a NESN Broadcaster for a Day.

The winner of this contest would appear on NESN during the eighth annual WEEI/NESN Jimmy Fund Radio-Telethon on Aug. 27 or 28.

A panel of judges and Jimmy Fund volunteers reviewed all the entries and named Jason Everhart, Maddy McKinley and Max Wolpoff as the three finalists.

All three finalist videos were posted on NESN.com and fans voted overwhelmingly for 12-year old Red Sox fan Max Wolpoff of Potomac, Maryland.

Here is Max's audition video:
