J.C. Escarra, a backup catcher for the New York Yankees, recently gained attention after an emotional video of him calling his mother to announce he made the team went viral. After years of hard work in the minors and balancing jobs like Uber driver and substitute teacher, Escarra's perseverance paid off. His mother shared her overwhelming joy during the call, which reflected their close bond. The moment epitomizes the dedication of family support through Escarra's struggles to achieve his dream of playing in the Major Leagues.
When he called me, I was not expecting anything. As soon as I got it and then he start talking... and then I said, 'Ohhhh.' And then I start crying.
After everything I've been through, the people that were there for me with open arms - when I got released, when I had all this adversity - was them, my family.
It's a dream come true to have made it with the Yankees.
Everything was perfect, and the right time.
