5/8/2023 0 Comments Little Mountain by Bob Sanchez![]() ![]() The 28-year-old says so little about his brother that his parents, Brad and Jan, worry about him, and how he's coping. ![]() In that phone are their lives together, moments precious now because they can never be recaptured. He'll never remove his brother's number from his call list. Max hasn't deleted that text or the hundreds of others from Alex. Alex typed a brief message: "If there's anything I've taught you, it's that #1 happens, #2 the non-scientific meaning is that you've now banked your juju for the playoffs." After one outing, in which he gave up several bloop hits, Max wondered what he'd done to deserve such bad luck. Back in September 2011, Max had struggled through a few starts. He'd peck out a message, if only to let his brother know he was thinking about him. Tall, handsome, with that goofy smile.Īlex, too, would reach for the phone whenever he had something to tell Max. All these months later, he can still see his little brother. Or he'll be at his condominium in Arizona, watching cable news, and think of a question only Alex could answer. He'll find himself in a hotel room, tired after another stunning start for the Detroit Tigers, and wonder what Alex thought of the outing. At night, in moments of anxiousness or hopefulness, Max Scherzer still reaches for his cell phone, wanting to talk to Alex. ![]()
