FREDERICK — Nearly an hour after the game, Lucas Giolito emerged from the visiting clubhouse wearing red socks and flip flops, his right arm wrapped in ice to the shoulder.
A small cluster of fans had been waiting outside. Some clutched team photographs and baseballs, collecting autographs from every Potomac Nationals player that walked by. Others only wanted an autograph from Giolito. They knew he would sign. He always does.
Giolito has been in the spotlight for much of his life, so this part of the job comes naturally to him.
