“This win was for Venezuela. I love them. Forgive me for not being there. My chest had a message on it asking God to not abandon us.”
On a night with a heavy heart, speaking out all day, begging for help after the devastation in Venezuela, William Contreras hit a 2 run HR, wearing his Venezuelan WBC gear & a prayer for Venezuela on his chest.
Baseball. You can’t script this.
A meaningful, meaningful moment for him ❤️
🇻🇪“Our country needs help. It is so painful. We have to show emotion & support. It’s hard to focus on a game like nothing happened.”
William Contreras breaks down in tears as he talks about his country and his friends back home, searching for their loved ones amidst the rubble of the earthquake.
Contreras has been posting non-stop on his Instagram asking for help finding the missing people from the tragedy and asking for aid.
At this point I am convinced that the #Mets are a sacrificial lamb and tanking on purpose to prove that high salaries don’t mean wins and therefore a salary cap is not necessary
