Gerardo Parra had an emotional reaction to his first plate appearance in Nationals Park since back in 2019, when he was part of the Washington’s World Series winning roster.
It was very 2019 in the nation’s capital on Sunday, with Parra’s “Baby Shark” walk-up song, shark movements from fans in the stands again, and a big win for the home team.
“To be honest, I almost cried. I almost cried,” Parra said in a post game Zoom call following his return to the majors, after a year in Japan, and a few months of rehabbing from surgery on his right knee this season at Triple-A Rochester.
