SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Texas Rangers players gathered in a horseshoe Wednesday morning, just outside of their clubhouse, and the haunting bugle call of "Taps" played above them.
A final, touching salute ... punctuated by roars of laughter.
These are some of the sounds of a team coming back together, as the World Baseball Classic draws to a conclusion.
Jurickson Profar played for the Netherlands, a team eliminated by Puerto Rico Monday, and when returned into the Rangers clubhouse Wednesday, he discovered that a funeral wreath, atop a decorative stand, had been placed next to his locker, bearing the printed words Rest In Peace.
