Baseball is known as America's favorite pastime. However, the sport has a massive following internationally.
Look no further than the World Baseball Classic. Eight Guardians played for their respective countries in the global tournament. It's a unique opportunity for international players to represent their homeland while playing professionally in the United States for most of the year.
"I think how my parents and grandparents raised me was incredible. My grandad hoped that one of his grandkids had the ability to really succeed and make it to the next level. I think that the dedication I had and work I put in to do that really helped me succeed," says Arias."It's definitely an incredible feeling because, as a baseball player, you always want to have that support and motivation that helps you become a better player every day," says Arias.
"I think the gap really gets filled when you're able to really make folks feel invited to the ballpark. Maybe they hear their native language being spoken from PA announcements or see it on the jerseys of 'Perros Calientes'. This gives you an opportunity to come, have fun, really kind of identity. Maybe it helps you connect a little better with some of the players, coaches and some of the fans in the stands," says RubberDucks President and General Manager Jim Pfander.
"What's cool about the Guardians is that they represent a lot of Hispanic parts of the city. The Latin community is very united. We come together by eating good and watching sports. It brings us joy," says Guardians fan Eduardo Hernandez.
