NORTH PORT, Fla. — On a sunny afternoon near the backfields at CoolToday Park, Ryan Cusick and Jared Shuster stand side by side as they address the media. Reporters usually speak with players one at a time, but this scene feels right because, well, Cusick and Shuster have pretty much taken the same path to this spot.
Both were born in Massachusetts (Cusick in Sudbury, Shuster in New Bedford).
Both played high school travel ball with North East Baseball.
