KANSAS CITY – Will Rosales was 5 when he came north with his family, immigrating from Mexico to settle in the U.S.
And the family didn’t settle just anywhere. They settled down the street from Wrigley Field where he became a baseball fan, although not, curiously enough, a Cubs fan. The passion for baseball runs deep in Will Rosales, who has spent the first two weeks of the season wherever the A’s are, following the team and his son, Adam, the A’s backup infielder.
Sixty years after his arriving in the U.S., Will Rosales found himself last Friday with his son at one of Adam Rosales’ Sandlot Nation gatherings.
