Once the source of embarrassment and ridicule, one of Davie Price’s constant companions traveled with him throughout the playoffs and the Red Sox’ World Series win.
The Boston left-hander’s Xbox, the source of his Fortnite gaming habit, was in his hotel room amid the dramatic trio of World Series games played in Los Angeles. And Nathan Eovaldi, Price’s regular gaming partner-in-crime, was there to help get a “couple dubs” in between some of the most intense pitching performances of their careers.
Even after the record-setting 18-inning Game 3, in which Eovaldi pitched six innings in relief to earn immense praise despite the loss, Price wanted to play some Fortnite.
