I took those nameplates back to our dressing room and straight to Lawson. I showed him Brody’s nameplate—Zeagler, in our Outlaws font and our Outlaws colors—and then wrapped it around his wrist and tied in a knot. Now he could wear Brody’s name during the game beneath his glove and keep him close, the way he needed. I needed Shea close to me, too. “Can you tie Shea’s onto my wrist?”
