Thanks for the note on Molina’s Dad.
The Molinas’ are indeed easy to root for.

Well done, Pete. Condolences to Jose, his brothers, their mother and all the kids who have lost an inspiration.

Nice story Pete. It showed a side of ballplayers we rarely see. Mr. Molina certainly had a positive effect on his family. I wish Jose the best.

How right you are. When did it become okay to portray fathers in such a disparaging light? They have (as do moms, but moms are mostly off-limits as far as negative portrayals go) a difficult enough job as it is, without having to fight incorrect and demeaning caricatures.

Good story Peter. And my condolences to the Molinas. What with all the nonsense going on in the world it is comforting to know there are still people like Benjamin Molina out there. Unassuming, hardworking, but still willing to help others.
