Thirteen locker stalls separated the infielder and the outfielder — the new father of a daughter ... and the son who could lose his mother.
In the Cardinals’ clubhouse Wednesday, Jedd Gyorko spoke to the media about his newborn daughter. Brooklyn Ellee is her name. Reporters reveled. A broadcaster joked to him that hopefully she has her mother’s looks. It was a blithe chat about this smiling new life.
Then he was asked about Stephen Piscotty. Gyorko’s eyes appeared glossy.
“I’ve talked to him a little bit — it’s tough, it’s a sad situation,” Gyorko softly said.
