PHOENIX -- This is a baseball story, not a tragedy story. Brewers pitching prospect Bubba Derby can tell both, unfortunately, and his glove is a good place to start.
It's a Rawlings made of black leather with "58 strong" embroidered in gold script along the thumb. Derby had it made to remind him of the 58 concertgoers killed last Oct. 1 by a gunman from the 32nd floor of a Las Vegas hotel. That was exactly five months ago. Derby is one of the survivors.
"It is as much a tribute as I can think of for the 58 souls who were lost on the night I was there," Derby said.
