Randy Arozarena he won the affection of the Mexican fans after his masterful performance with the Mexican Baseball Team. In addition, he showed that he felt the shirt like few others and unleashed a “Randymanía” among baseball fans.

The Tampa Bay Rays outfielder shined with the glove and the stick, and in social networks they remembered the failure of Rogelio Funes Mori in the World Cup Qatar 2022.

Among other things, it is said that Funes Mori, current striker for Rayados de Monterrey, decided to play for El Tri, just to have the chance to play in the World Cup.

for his part Arozarena would be more authentic, because he had the chance to play for Cuba or the Dominican Republic. But Randy was always clear that his dream was to play for Mexico in the World Baseball Classic.

“Mexicans are born where they want“, is the premise used by Arozarena, a player who enjoyed representing the Tri baseball team like no other and who also stood out with boots and a charro hat in training.

That is how Randy Arozarena’s performance reminded us of the failure of Rogelio Funes Mori with the Mexican Soccer Team and that nationalizing a player does not always go wrong, nor does it go well.

We will have to see what the future holds for a Rogelio Funes Mori who today at 32 years old is still eligible for Mexico, but Diego Cocca has already excluded him from his first list.
