Tim Fletcher, who died earlier this month, was always there for sons David and Dominic. They faced off at Angel Stadium Friday with heavy hearts.
Tim died unexpectedly earlier this month. So, David and Dominic — playing against each other at the major-league level for the first time as the Angels hosted the Diamondbacks — played without one of their biggest fans on Friday.“I think it’d be a pretty exciting day for him,” David said before the game. “He was very proud of both of us.
David went 0 for two and Dominic went one for four in the Angels’ 6-2 loss to the Diamondbacks during the first of their three-game series.MLB home run leader Shohei Ohtani broke his personal record for his longest homer, crushing a 493-foot bomb during the Angels’ loss Friday. The Fletchers were raised in Cypress, David and Dominic playing on the same team just one year when they were both at Cypress High. They played on the same team again for Team Italy in March.Last season, David had a rehab assignment in triple A and played against Dominic in a game between the Salt Lake Bees and Reno Aces. David was sent back to triple A in the middle of April, getting to play against Dominic and the Aces until Dominic made his big league debut at the end of that month.
Dominic was recalled by the Diamondbacks on Thursday, one of two outfielders they brought up as star outfielder Corbin Carroll nurses a sore shoulder.
