Sitting in a right field suite for Game 6 of the World Series, White Sox pitcher Lucas Giolito brimmed with happiness for his former high school teammate, as Max Fried quieted the Astros crowd.
At the same time, Giolito felt a pang of jealousy.
“A dream come true for him,” Giolito said of Fried, “and very motivating for me.”
About a decade after they all played together at Harvard-Westlake High School, Giolito and Jack Flaherty made their way to Minute Maid Park this week to cheer on Fried as he and the Braves won the World Series.
