Miami, United States – Leones del Escogido infielder Erik González expressed his pride and commitment after being selected to cover the shortstop position for the Dominican Republic Baseball Team in the upcoming World Baseball Classic. The designation comes after the injury of the star Jeremy Peña. González received the news directly from the manager of the Dominican team, Albert Pujols.

When I received the call, I felt very grateful. Albert was my favorite player when I was growing up, and now having him as a manager is incredible. It’s like having a dad there.
