“The first thing that makes us feel proud is the human being that he has become, that we raised such a good kid,” Salazar said. And although they're thrilled with his success on the field, they’re equally excited for who he is off it. It was easy to see how proud Alvarez’s parents are of their son, who entered Tuesday tied for third in the majors with 31 homers. I don’t have words to express what I’m feeling right now and what is going through my mind right now.”
“And this is a feeling that only a mom knows what it feels like. When reminded of a game earlier this year when Alvarez called her back home to say he'd hit a homer for her on her birthday, she became overcome with emotion and wept openly - wiping away tear after tear as they streamed down her face. For his mother the entire night was a bit too much. His father beamed as he watched his son’s first at-bat Tuesday. I knew I had their support, but obviously they weren’t here.” And when I arrived here, I arrived by myself. “Obviously, when I came into the United States it was not easy. “It means everything,” he said in Spanish through a translator. “He was just happy and excited because we were all waiting for this moment to come,” Salazar said.Īlvarez was moved to know how special it was for his parents to finally see him play after being away from them for so long. So how did Alvarez, who has long spoke of his desire for his family to see him play, respond when he learned that they'd finally be watching him after such a long wait? “We know that in order to make things happen we have to confront difficulties and that’s why we’re here today.” “It never crossed our minds that we were not going to be able to be here,” his father said. “We’ve had to go through a lot of difficulties to get here today.”ĭespite those struggles, the family never lost hope that they’d make it to see their son play in the majors.
