Their son is an MLB catcher. Years after his debut, they finally got to see him play.
Briefly

Keibert Ruiz, playing for the Nationals, experienced a dream come true when his parents finally witnessed his MLB debut after years of struggles with visa applications. It marked a significant emotional moment for Ruiz and his family, who had long waited for this opportunity. His mother and father expressed overwhelming pride and joy, emphasizing the importance of the moment for their family. Ruiz reflected on how surreal it felt to have his parents in the stands, celebrating his success after 10 years of hard work and dedication to the sport.
I can't believe it, you know? Like just - you have made me wait for what, 10, 11 years to see me play for the first time here in the big leagues.
This is something I've been asking God and praying to God every day to be able to watch my son in the big leagues. This is something I've always been wishing for.
