SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — A baseball glove is more than a tool of the trade for a major leaguer. It's an extension of who he is. Even, sometimes, when he sleeps.
That's how Rockies third-base prospect Ryan McMahon breaks in his leather.
"I put it under my mattress and put a couple of baseballs in there, kind of moved it how I wanted it to form, and slept on top of it the first night I had it," McMahon said.
The nonroster invitee remembers his first glove.
