LOS ANGELES — By now, everybody knows there’s a lot of love between Cubs catcher Willson Contreras and his baby brother, Braves catcher William Contreras. But there’s also a significant age gap. So when Willson, 30, started behind the plate and hit sixth in the order for the National League in the All-Star Game on Tuesday, with William, 24, at designated hitter and batting seventh, it was the first time they’d ever played in a real game as teammates.
And their parents, big brother Willmer — double “L’s,” of course — and Willmer’s wife and daughter were all at Dodger Stadium to enjoy it, too. From life in Venezuela to all this? Magical.
