Astros right-hander Lance McCullers Jr. will take the memory of a lost friend into the American League Championship Series, beginning Friday in Houston.
McCullers posted a photo of his ALDS cleats on Thursday, which honor former Miami Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez.
The pair attended high school together and were workout partners before Fernandez died in a tragic boating accident in September 2016.
