After Christin Stewart reached the major leagues in 2018, a significant member of the Detroit Tigers family sat him down for a conversation.
His name: Willie Horton.
"Keep that kid in you when you play," Horton, a member of the 1968 World Series squad, told him. "When you were younger, there wasn't any care in the world. You were just having fun. Have that confidence and swagger every time you go out there."
In January, Horton called Stewart to catch up, and the 78-year-old delivered the same message.
