PHOENIX — In the middle of September, Rangers first baseman Nate Lowe went with a few teammates to a casino in Cleveland and saw something that shook him to his core. Left fielder Evan Carter, who had recently turned 21, handed over his driver’s license—for the first time, he later told them. That was bad enough. But what really grabbed Lowe’s attention was the orientation of that driver’s license: It was vertical.
“[We didn’t] rip him apart,” Lowe says, laughing. “But it was definitely a point of focus.”
Carter all but blushes now. “It still is [vertical],” he admits. “I haven’t had time to get it renewed.”
