SPENCER — There’s nothing quite like living in a smaller town, especially when you live in the Corn Belt of the United States. All childhood friends are near and dear to our hearts, especially the ones you spend a lot of time with. In sports, you become best friends with a lot of your teammates, and if you’re lucky, you can play with those friends for as long as possible. As a kid who played baseball for 18 years, it’s understandable to be super close with your baseball friends.
