When Doug Teter stepped up as new the head athletic trainer for the 2018 season, he probably wasn’t prepared to become a good luck charm for right fielder Nicholas Castellanos.
During Monday’s game against the Kansas City Royals, Castellanos was seen rubbing Teter’s bald head in the dugout. And we’re not talking a friendly pat, here. Castellanos was really invested in the process.
Just look at how thoroughly he covers the topography of Teter’s dome here.
Teter, who has been with the club quite some time, working alongside previous head athletic trainer Kevin Rand (who is now in Lakeland) is actually no strange to this particular move.
