HOUSTON (AP) — Alec Bohm got over the fear of failure long before getting to the World Series with the Philadelphia Phillies. The 26-year-old third baseman has come a long way since one miserable night less than a week into the season when he made throwing errors in each of the first three innings of a home game. Bohm is now the youngest starting third baseman in a postseason for the Phillies since Willie “Puddin’ Head” Jones in the 1950 World Series. He had a two-run double and five flawless fielding chances in the Game 1 victory at Houston.
