They hugged. In the middle of a baseball field, in the heart of Game 1 of the World Series, Mookie Betts, right fielder for the Los Angeles Dodgers, and Willy Adames, shortstop for the Tampa Bay Rays, hugged.
Right out there at second base. In front of everybody.
Betts had walked and stolen second in the fifth inning. Adames was in the area.
Just getting started dismantling the Rays, Betts paused to hold out his arms.
“Hey, come here little brother,” he said.
