The Hialeah Kid has become one of the players he grew up watching.
Now, Nestor Cortes will get to pitch in his home city for the first time as a professional, and the next generation of kids from Hialeah will be there to watch him.
. Because of all the variables involved, it was not until around then that he started to look at the schedule to see if the days lined up for him to be able to pitch in the series.“Oh yeah, 100 percent,” he said. “When I ran [in the outfield before games] in ’21, I was like, ‘I don’t even know what I’m doing here.’ And I was nervous. So I can’t imagine what I [will] feel like when I do pitch there.
“Hialeah’s got a tremendous baseball reputation,” Shane Fulton, Cortes’ coach at Hialeah High School, said last year. “We’re probably 98 percent Hispanic, a lower socioeconomic [city], hard-working families. But baseball is the passion down here.” “But the Luis Castillos, Juan Pierres, Juan Encarnacions, Alex Gonzalezes, those guys, I almost liked them more than the superstars.”
“Everybody in South Florida, it’s either the Marlins or the Yankees,” Cortes said. “So I think that’s why this series is going to be incredible, because it’s two teams that are really loved down there. But growing up, it was just fun to cheer for the Marlins. I remember coming home from school — I believe they used to show Wednesday day games at noon and I would watch it on Fox. Just a lot of good memories overall.
