My Take
Joe Espada's story appeals to me because his real rise came in the dugout, not at the plate. A Santurce-born Puerto Rican who studied at the University of Mobile, he built his name patiently across the Marlins, Yankees, and Astros before finally landing the Houston manager's chair. His two World Baseball Classic silver medals with Puerto Rico add a layer of national pride. I believe the deepest baseball intelligence often lives away from the spotlight, in the people who develop talent and win through others. Espada climbed that path the hard way, and that makes him genuinely easy to root for.
