During a recent homestand, Blake Treinen was on his way out of the Oakland Coliseum when he passed by a security guard who addressed him as "Ty." Although the Oakland Athletics' closer was confused, he didn't think much of it at the time. A couple of days later, Treinen walked by the same guard.
"Good night, Mr. Young," said the sentry.
For a moment, Treinen was offended by the notion that the guard, someone with whom he had almost daily interaction, didn't know his name. Then it occurred to him that previously, the guy hadn't called him Ty, but rather Cy.
