Clearwater, Fla. — There he is, by the table on which the clubhouse’s post-game spread has been laid out with cheeses, cold cuts and chicken.
Anthony Gose is en route to a shower after an afternoon game on a hot day at Spectrum Field that saw his Lakeland Flying Tigers whip the Clearwater Threshers.
You haven’t seen him in three months. But there’s an instant smile and handshake from a one-time Tigers outfielder who always seemed more buoyed talking fishing and hunting than chewing on baseball topics.
But today, the topic is, and must be, baseball.
