JUPITER, Fla. • By the time Alex Reyes got to his hotel room in Cincinnati a few years ago, a teammate had already palmed his room key and left him with the wrong one.
A few tries at the door and Reyes, thinking nothing was amiss, returned to front desk for a new key. Adam Wainwright, prankster in chief, and teammates Jonathan Broxton and Brandon Moss slipped into Reyes’ room and ducked behind a curtain. The rookie returned, entered, and dropped his bag. As he started to unbutton his dress shirt, the three teammates sprang from their hiding spot with a shout.
