Guinan brothers Fitz and Danny grow closer together even on rival teams

Two boys just 18 months apart created a competitive household for the Guinan family. Sports became a staple in life early on, and baseball quickly turned the national pastime into a shared language. It’s how brothers Fitz and Danny Guinan grew up, how they compete and how they stay close, even while wearing rival colors on opposite sides of town.

“There was just so much divide and conquer,” their mother, Erin, said. “It taught me early on that I can only be in one place at a time.”
