NEW YORK – The light blue first baseman’s mitt that Jeimer Candelario slips on before jogging out of the dugout has its owner’s name stitched in gold along the side: Miguel Amaya.
“This one is the best one here right now,” Candelario told the Sun-Times. “It’s got a good [pocket], and I’m getting used to it.”
Amaya, who has exclusively played catcher and designated hitter in the majors, was happy to offer it up.
