The crazy story behind Blue Jays rookie Davis Schneider's glove

Schneider, a 28th-round selection from 2017, has exploded onto the scene since making his MLB debut last Friday at Fenway Park against the Red Sox, where he homered in his first major-league at-bat.

The 24-year-old hasn’t slowed since, going 9-for-13 with two home runs across his first three career games, becoming the first rookie in MLB history to accomplish that feat.
