“If you walk into his room, it looks like a bomb went off,” Royals catcher Cam Gallagher said jokingly of outfielder Bubba Starling.
“I might not clean up as well as I should after myself, but that’s why he’s there for me,” Starling said.
Gallagher and Starling are just your typical 24-year-old roommates, except for one thing. They play professional baseball.
The Royals drafted the pair in 2011: Starling fifth overall in the first round, and Gallagher in the second round. They have been roommates on and off since then, and they are living together during this year’s spring training.
