SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- Recently, Chris Herrmann walked into the D-backs' clubhouse carrying his 4-month-old son, Crew. It was the first time the catcher's teammates got a chance to see Herrmann's young son, and it was a moment the catcher will not forget.
"It was just such a good feeling," Herrmann said. "These guys supported me and my wife so much last summer."
Most D-backs fans would look at Herrmann's .181 batting average last year and understand that it was a tough year for him.
What they don't know is that the struggles on the field were nothing compared to what was going on off the field, as his wife Shelby endured a difficult pregnancy.
