The patriarch of the Molina baseball family, Ruben introduced himself in early 2015 by walking by our bench and asking "hey you guys need a player?" He debuted a few minutes later and went on to become the league's oldest Rookie of the Year. More importantly, he introduced his son, two brothers, and four nephews who have all become league regulars at some point. Without the Molinas and their friends, our league likely would not have survived. For the love of the game!
