Well, now, let me tell ya about this young fella, Alex Verdugo. He’s been around the baseball world for a while, and folks around the game know him well. But, y’know, it ain’t just his swing that makes him stand out. That boy’s also got a soft side—he’s a family man through and through. Yep, I reckon there’s more to Alex than just being a fine ballplayer. Ain’t that the truth?
Alex, he’s got himself a little one. His baby boy, born right in Los Angeles back in August 2021. That’s just precious, ain’t it? Now, I ain’t one to be making all that much noise, but I tell ya, a man like Verdugo, he’s one proud daddy. And when he’s out there on the field, swinging that bat or running the bases, you best believe he’s got his little one in mind. I heard him say once, “It’s because one, I have my baby, obviously,” and then he’d go on to tell folks how he’d remind himself to keep his arms close to his body like he’s rockin’ a baby. Ain’t that a sweet way to think about the game?
Now, don’t get me wrong, baseball’s got its ups and downs, but Alex here, he’s making it work. There was a time when he took a little break from the team, just to be with his family. Had to welcome another little one into the world, his second daughter, down in Arizona. Family always comes first for him, and that’s something I can appreciate. We don’t see enough of that these days, if you ask me.
Oh, and here’s something folks might not know: when Verdugo’s out there playing for the Boston Red Sox, he’s got these chains that swing around his neck. I hear he packs at least six of ’em for every road trip. I ain’t sure what it’s all about, but I reckon it’s just his style. Makes him stand out a little more, I suppose. Guess it’s like his little good luck charm. But at the end of the day, he’s a dad first, and that’s what matters the most.
He’s a good role model for the younger folks, too. It ain’t always about winning games or making the big plays. Sometimes, it’s about showing up for the ones you love, and Alex does that with pride. Ain’t no question about it, he’s a dedicated father who’s got the right balance between work and family.
And don’t you forget: just this past year, Alex was put on the paternity list for a spell when the Red Sox were in Toronto. Had to be with his family, and they sure appreciated it. I imagine it ain’t easy to juggle all that travel and family life, but Alex, he seems to make it work. His family’s his backbone, and that’s the way it should be, don’t ya think?
But just like any good ballplayer, he’s back on the field when the time’s right. A real professional. But what really sticks with me is how he’s always there for his little ones. I’ve heard that he’s one of the best dads out there. He doesn’t just play the game—he plays it with heart, because he knows who’s watching. And you can tell that family means the world to him.
So, in the end, it ain’t just about Alex Verdugo being a baseball star. No, sir. It’s about him being a man who knows what’s important in life. He’s balancing it all—baseball, family, and all the love that comes with it. And that, my friends, is the real story of Alex Verdugo. He might hit home runs, but his biggest achievement is being a great dad.
