A Double Blessing
Blydell and Stanizzi, who played shortstop and third base side by side during their time at Framingham State University, were both taken aback when they discovered through social media that they were expecting twins simultaneously.
Their shared journey toward parenthood added a unique dimension to their long-standing friendship.
