MIAMI – Daniel Gossett won’t be alone when he makes his Major League debut Wednesday, starting for the A’s against the Miami Marlins.
For one thing, a bunch of his pals from the Nashville Sounds are on hand – Chad Pinder, Matt Olson, Jaycob Brugman and Zach Neal are all currently on the Oakland roster.
For another, he will have a sizable family contingent, including parents Stacey and Lee, wife Presley, his in-laws and his in-laws parents.
Let’s not forget his high school coach from South Carolina and his pastor from the same region, both of whom have let him know they’ll be there.
