Plus: Childhood friends ready for MLB showdown
Twelve years ago, two future big leaguers, both 12 at the time, took each other deep in consecutive half-innings on a Little League field outside San Antonio.
On Sunday afternoon, Bryce Miller and Jordan Westburg -- childhood friends who grew up in the same Texas neighborhood, competed throughout Little League and played together at New Braunfels High School -- could face off again. Only this time, it would happen on the field at Seattle's T-Mobile Park, where Miller is scheduled to start for the Mariners in the finale of a three-game series against Westburg's Orioles.
It would be a battle of MLB rookies, but a batter-pitcher matchup with much more history than most. |
