“I understand and appreciate the importance of making these memories and connections to baseball,” he said. “It was important for me growing up, it’s important now raising two sons of my own and establishing these connections to America’s pastime,” he said.
Sure enough, Rodriguez made sure his own kids were in attendance. And as he celebrates Father’s Day with his two boys, he recalls some moments he had with them over this sport that is so close to his home.
“Yeah, my first baseball game with Rush, my oldest, was the first season after he was born,” he said. “He was born in October, you know, hot dog in one hand, baby in the other, trying to shelter him from the sun, trying to get those foul balls. Those are memories I will always have and memories of us here at the museum are trying to help other people get on days like today.”
Rodriguez said he and his kids have bonded over this sport and it’ll last a lifetime.
