LOS ANGELES — There are constant reminders that 22-year-old Boston Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers is young.
Acne scars dot his face. He likes wearing two gold chains and bright green Air Max 90s. Blond tips sometimes poke out of his baseball cap with a haircut that's a cousin of Odell Beckham Jr.'s locks. Even his youthful appearance, which sometimes makes him look like a middle-schooler who sneaked onto the field in full uniform, has led Red Sox fans on social media to dub him their "young son."
In fact, Devers—who just turned 22 on Wednesday—is the youngest player on either World Series roster.
