FORT MYERS, Fla. — Sonny Gray's youth baseball teams did not lose.
From the 5-6 age group through the 11-12 team, the UNA Bears won every game but one that Gray can remember. And although those teams boasted a future major league pitcher in Gray, it was the coach, his father, who really nurtured that talent.
"We were turning double plays when we were 5 years old," Gray said. "It was coached. We practiced. We did the right thing. But he took the time."
