ANAHEIM — David and Dominic Fletcher had dreamed about the moment they would share a major league field together.Their father, Tim, had died suddenly less than three weeks earlier. He was 60.
David, 29, and Dominic, 25, played together for one year in high school. David went to Loyola Marymount and was drafted by the Angels in 2015. Dominic went to Arkansas and was drafted by Diamondbacks in 2019. Since then, the two of them split the season playing at Triple-A and in the majors. They had played against each other in Triple-A, but the chances of them meeting in the big leagues shrunk as each was still in the minors a week before this series.
“It’s awesome,” David said. “It’s something that we kind of thought would happen one day and could be a special series.”
