At some point, the contents off the text messages started to change.
They were no longer about baseball. No more "good game" or "nice play."
The messages began to take on more serious meaning.
"Have a good day."
"Let me know if you need anything."
And most frequently, "I love you."

They are more than two guys trying to win games together. They have been battling side by side since each was diagnosed with cancer within in a span of about four months.
