Chris Sale has fond memories of his childhood in Lakeland, Fla. – his father, Allan, appears in many of them, always there to play pick-up in the driveway after work and rarely missing one of his son’s baseball games.
In an interview with WEEI‘s Rob Bradford, Sale said he strives to emulate his relationship with his father with his own sons, 9-year-old Rylan, 3-year-old Brayson, and 3-month-old Camden.
“I want to do the same things he did,” Sale told WEEI. “It’s hard. That’s why when the offseason comes, it’s sacred for me, because that’s the time I do those things.
