How Jansen and Jones share a baseball history

TORONTO -- Danny Jansen feels like he's living in a dream, and he just hopes that nobody wakes him up any time soon. If a whirlwind of a first week in the Major Leagues wasn't enough, now he's sharing the field with one of his boyhood idols.

In a moment that was 14 years in the making, Jansen was reunited with Orioles star outfielder Adam Jones during Monday night's game against the Orioles. There might be a 10-year age gap between these two, but there's also a special bond that dates back to their time together in Appleton, Wis.
