Wade Davis walks out from the Kansas City Royals bullpen, steps onto the pitcher’s mound, looks up to the sky and starts talking.
He might be the only visible person on the mound to you and me, but the way Davis sees it, he has company.
“Stay right here with me,” Davis says. “We’ll do this together. Let’s get this done.”
Davis is talking to Dustin Huguley — his stepbrother and best friend.
Two years ago Friday, Davis buried him.
Huguley, who used to catch Davis growing up, played softball that afternoon, went home and collapsed.
