CLEVELAND - Not only are two of the top four teams in baseball on display during the ALCS, two of the best shortstops in the game are going head to head, as well.
When Troy Tulowitzki was drafted seventh overall by the Colorado Rockies in June of 2005, Francisco Lindor was just 11 years old.
Six years later, however, Lindor would join Tulowitzki in fraternity of shortstops taken in the top 10 when the Cleveland Indians tabbed the Puerto Rican-born Florida high school product with the eighth-overall pick in 2011.
Four years later, Lindor, 22, connected with Tulowitzki, 32, in the big leagues, and now, they’re sharing the American League Championship Series stage.
