“We met representing our team, Miranda is in high school, then we signed with the same team to play professionally, we got to play together in many leagues, we signed with Los Glorios Leones del Caracas, the best team in Venezuela, and we became champions, the team so far. The last title won. 30 years later, we’re back in baseball as first nationals in different roles.” Gregorio Petit revealed in a post on his Instagram account.
