My family and i went to Puerto Rico for a week. We stayed in San Juan, but decided to drive over to Bayamon where Luis’s family owns an ice cream shop.

When we walked in, I asked the lady working if Luis happened to be there. In broken English, she said he flew out the day before. She goes to the back for a minute, comes back out, and Luis‘s dad comes out with her with Luis on FaceTime on his phone. He spoke to me and my family over FaceTime like we had known each other for years. My son, who is 16, thought it was the greatest thing ever. It was super cool of his dad and him to do that!

Very seldom is it actually a cool story when someone says it is.

This is one of the even more rare times where cool story undersells its.

Luis is awesome. He was such a great addition to the team and was clutch behind the plate and batting.

We actually ran into some other LSU fans while we were in old San Juan. They told us about it and said Luis was actually working and served them their ice cream the previous day. But the next day he had flown out to Houston to start training.

While we were talking to him on FaceTime, he was at the premier training facility in Houston

I know it was cool for you, but imagine how proud it made his parents.
