CHICAGO — Mike Zunino stood in front of the visitor’s dugout at Guaranteed Rate Field, getting ready for the Mariners’ pregame workout. The game on Monday night vs. the White Sox would soon have his complete focus.
But admittedly, 0ver the past few days, it’s been difficult to think of all things baseball. His mind and thoughts have been pulled toward his close friend and former teammate Danny Farquhar, who he wished was somewhere, anywhere on the field and not in the intensive care unit at Rush University Medical Care Center.
It was just three days prior that Farquhar began vomiting violently and eventually collapsed in the White Sox dugout after pitching in the sixth inning of a game against the Houston Astros on Friday night.
