The kickoff of the Major League Baseball game between the Red Sox from Boston and the Toronto Blue Jays will be performed by the renowned salsa singer from Puerto Rico, Gilberto Santa Rosa .
The actor will perform at the Boston home, Fenway Stadium Park, and is part of the celebration of the Puerto Rico Heritage Night , which precisely coincides with the Massachusetts Puerto Rican Festival.
As if that were not enough, the coaches of both clubs, Alex Costa and Charlie Montoyo , are also Puerto Rican, and this undoubtedly influenced the invitation to the singer.
Before the invitation, the singer affirmed in a press release to carry his roots with pride: “ Our Puerto Rican roots, as well as Latino roots, are represented on both teams. AND Without a doubt, it will be fantastic to make the first pitch accompanied by these two Puerto Rican leaders. ”
The Red Sox have several island players, such as center fielder Kike Hernández, pitcher Yackson Ríos and receiver Christian Vázquez.
It was learned that Santa Rosa will be recognized during the pre-match event, which will also feature artists such as Jorge Arce and Raíz de Plena, who will give a musical show .
