Quintin Berry and Adam Jones looking to share a meal as Detroit Tigers arrive in Baltimore – MLB
Detroit Tigers’ rookie Quintin Berry and Baltimore Orioles’ Adam Jones have been close friends for more than two decades. On Thursday, the Tigers arrive in Baltimore to open a series that is important to both teams.
Tigers are catching up with the American League Central Division leaders the Chicago White Sox. Baltimore Orioles, on the other hand, are having their best season in almost a decade and a half. Surely, Buck Showalter and company will be looking to continue
their good work to have any chance of making it to the playoffs.
According to sources, the two mates will share one of their most specials meals before the two teams start to take part in training sessions.
Berry played Minor League for seven years with five different baseball clubs before breaking into Major League Baseball. Since making his debut with the Tigers, he is shown baseball what exactly he is capable of. The 27-year-old went 4-for-4 in a game at
Comerica Park, showcasing his impressive hitting abilities. Both Berry and Jones grew up together in the same town and they share a very unique relationship. In San Diego, they started their baseball career while playing for their high school.
"We worked out the last four or five years together and just pushed each other," Jones said in a post game interview, recalling his memories. "It's special for him to get to the bigs, special for me, and I think for San Diego, our high school, our elementary
school, all our friends. We're both playing major league baseball, and that's rare."
"We met when we were 5," Jones further added with a smile on his face. "I don't remember the actual first meeting. His mom lived next door to my grandmother. We've known each other for 20 years.”
Jones, who is undoubtedly one of the most gifted hitters in the game, became professional leaving high school and the 26-year-old has already played five big league seasons. It took Berry some time to make his dreams to come true but he is finally where
he always wanted to be.
