After two nights of dinners and stories, reality will hit Cubs catcher Willson Contreras when he comes to bat in the first inning Saturday with younger brother William behind the plate for the Braves.
‘‘It’s going to be emotional,’’ Willson said Friday. ‘‘It’s going to be good, especially being the older brother. Seeing your younger brother play against you is priceless.’’
Willson, 30, is six years older than his brother, who is batting .287 with nine home runs. The two worked out together during the COVID-19 stoppage in 2020, and their parents will be in attendance at Wrigley Field for a memorable experience.
