ARLINGTON, Texas — Anthony Volpe expected there to be plenty of postgame banter — not from him, but from his buddies back home in New Jersey about his first time squaring off against his good friend and former Delbarton teammate Jack Leiter .
But the first time facing Leiter in the big leagues, five years after they graduated from Delbarton and much longer since they met on a playground on the Upper East Side as young kids, was a full-circle moment for the duo. Leiter’s father and former Yankee Al Leiter was in attendance, while Volpe said they would have had a bigger group from back home here if not for the real world.
