Jack Flaherty shared a text he received from a friend on Tuesday. It read, “What a difference a year makes.”
No kidding.
It also wasn’t the first experience Flaherty has had with friends since coming home to Los Angeles.
In a moment that was shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Major League Baseball and fans, Flaherty was seen in a long embrace with his mother, Eileen Flaherty, after winning Game 1 of the National League Championship Series against the New York Mets.
The two were scanning the crowd that stayed behind and found who they were looking for.
