Herriman • When Corey Baird receives news that he will join the United States Men’s National Team for camps or other types of call-ups, the first people he notifies are those closest to him. His mother, father and brother get the first text messages, followed by his best friends on Real Salt Lake and back home.
Baird said his parents are still excited any time he tells them he’s been chosen for something related to the national team. So it stands to reason that they felt the exact same way when Baird was named to the provisional 40-man roster on Monday for this summer’s Gold Cup.
