Tampa – the heart of JC Escarra sank.
When Aaron Boone called him to his office after the Saturday match at Steinbrenner Field, Esca was expecting some good news. He had collected a strong camp on both sides of the ball to make his work on the role of the reserve hunter and all the signs pointed to the team.
But when Esca, 29, he entered the Boone office, there were no other coaches. The former Uber driver and a replacement teacher to help pay his bills while he has grinded through an independent ball for two years, realized that the room could be more crowded if he had something to celebrate.
Boone began by framing the conversation as “difficult” and talking about the depth of catch in the organization that put a pit in the stomach of the escara. They told him not and rejected many times during his long journey until now.
But after pausing for a few seconds, Boone broke the lifestyle and told Esca that he was going to the big leagues.
“It feels incredible,” Escara said on Sunday morning. “A lot of time is coming. I was just grateful that I was here at the beginning and now my dreams have come true. Now is the easy part. Now it’s just to play baseball on the biggest scene, so I’m excited about what is ahead.”
After receiving the news, Esra called his parents and had a conversation with his mother, telling her that he had made the team.
“I really don’t even cry so much – I knew it would be like that,” Esra said. “But this is just a special moment. A special moment of what I have experienced, because it has gone through it and with me. So this comes true for a family dream.”
The Esca, who will become a father in June, celebrates his wife on Saturday night. By Tuesday, he will see the rest of his family when the Yankees play Marlins in Miami, near where Escare grew up in Hyalea, Florida.
And a big crew of family and friends will be in the Bronx on Thursday for the day of opening to see the Escare story of perseverance, which took place after many times when he did not think it would ever happen.
“When I won $ 400 every two weeks at Indy Ball, I played abroad, playing a winter ball, having all these strange jobs, just to secure my family – there was a time when I was going to hook it,” Escara said. “I believed it. I believed it was time to continue and see what was following. But I’m glad I didn’t.”
“I think something inside me [kept me going]S God, I just trust Jesus. He put something inside me that I can’t explain. It made me continue and give it another year. “
And now, after all the different titles he has held, the escara can be called a great glitter.
“Many pieces of chess have to be aligned only for this opportunity,” he said. “I have the feeling that I did everything on my part to show that I can help the team win. Glory to God the opportunity to be here.”
