Trevor Rosenthal has a 1,000 watt smile that spreads across his face with ease. If there were ever an occasion that warranted the electric display of his pearly whites, it would have been his most recent meeting with Mike Matheny, one in which he was told he was finally getting his shot at a dream he’s had for several seasons.

 A baseball mitt is a personal thing. It wraps around a player’s hand, encasing their skin for two-thirds of a year. It molds to their fingers, morphing to fit their hands until the leather becomes an extension of their body. It’s an intimacy shaped over thousands of impacts with a baseball and finished by the heat of a hundred midday suns.
