Ryan Rua is doing his best to stay focused on baseball. But it’s understandable that part of his heart and thoughts are in Ohio.
His wife Courtney had their first child at the end of March, a baby boy named Rowan Randy Rua. Rua was able to fly home to the Cleveland area for the birth but hardly got a full day with his son and wife before returning to spring training in Arizona. Yu Darvish’s wife gave birth to their second son in early March in Dallas. Darvish was also there for the birth and has obviously been able to spend plenty of time with his family since the club returned from Arizona.
