I couldn't help but doubletake when I walked into the Orioles clubhouse last night and saw five-year-old Chase Wigginton romping around his dad's locker in an Angels jersey.
Was that some subtle message from Ty that he would like to be dealt to a contender that just announced it has lost its power-hitting first baseman (Kendry Morales) for the rest of the season?
That's what immediately crossed my mind, but Wigginton immediately sensed what I was thinking.
"C'mon, the kid just had a game today,'' Wigginton said, shaking his head.
Turns out that Chase really did have a tee-ball game on Thursday. I know this because I didn't believe Ty and asked the kid myself just to make sure.
