Holliday’s father, his mother, Leslee, and younger brother Ethan traveled from their Oklahoma home to be on hand for the weekend series between Baltimore and Colorado, where Matt Holliday bookended his 15-year major league career. The elder Holliday relished the chance to watch his oldest son play on the field he once roamed with his dad playing Wiffle ball and catch, absorbing early lessons in the game and an appreciation for the sport.Taijuan Walker hopes move to bullpen can help him find success for Phillies in stretch run“It’s pretty awesome,” Matt said. “It doesn’t seem like that long ago, Jackson was running around here. We’re playing with a Wiffle ball, and now he’s got a chance to play on this field.
He recorded his first career stolen base on Wednesday at the Los Angeles Dodgers, the youngest Oriole to do that since Manny Machado swiped his first when he was 20 years, 53 days old against the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 28, 2012.
