ALTOONA, Pa. — Shortstop Cole Tucker, one of the youngest players on the Class AA Altoona roster, has a locker just a couple of spots away from the team’s oldest member, Tyler Gaffney.
But age isn’t the first thing that comes to Tucker’s mind about the 27-year old leftfielder who was called up to Altoona on June 2.
“When I think of Tyler Gaffney, I don’t think of ‘Oh, he’s the old guy in the clubhouse,’ ” Tucker said. “I think, ‘Oh, that’s the guy that hangs out with Gronk and Tom Brady and stuff.’ So yeah, he’s older, but he fits right in.
