Last summer, when the goal of leading the Tampa Bay Rays to a World Series title was a shared one, Adam Kolarek’s dad drove him and Brandon Lowe to a baseball field.
Frank Kolarek, a Catonsville native, was in town to catch the two University of Maryland products and their team take on the New York Yankees. Although they weren’t contemporaries in College Park, the younger Kolarek and Lowe roomed together in Florida, and with Kolarek in the passenger seat and Lowe in the back, Kolarek’s dad gave them a ride to Tropicana Field.
“As a dad, it’s been a lifetime of this,” Frank Kolarek said.
