Members of the Mario Mendoza Little League team from Navojoa, Sonora, had dinner with the famous actor Rob Schneider in an exciting encounter.
The displays of affection from the actor and comedian Rob Schneider are not something new. His passion for the Tigres team and his love for Mexico have been headlines shared around the world. Yesterday, he once again demonstrated that affection with a touching gesture by pitching in for the dinner of the Mario Mendoza Little League baseball team, originating from Navojoa, Sonora.
The members of the Mario Mendoza Little League and the actor met at an airport upon their return to Mexico, and it was there that Rob Schneider decided to make the gesture and celebrate the strides the team made in the Little League World Series Intermediate. The event was shared through a Twitter user, Luis Araujo, who made a post narrating what happened.
“The comedian gave money to the team so they could have dinner when he met them at the airport on their way back to Mexico. More stories like these,” reads the post from the user @luisaraujo_hdz.
On his part, Rob Schneider shared the photo he took with the team, adding the caption: “My new friends from Liga Mario Mendoza in Navojoa, Sonora! Viva Mexico.”
The team members from Navojoa made history in the tournament by being the first team from Sonora to reach the final. The Mexican representative team managed to defeat the West Seoul League from South Korea during the semifinal match, which earned them a spot in the grand final.
Furthermore, the team was one of the standout teams in the tournament, as they remained undefeated after defeating the teams from Puerto Rico, Canada, and South Korea. This led to great baseball stars like Erubiel Durazo congratulating the great achievement of the Sonoran team.
However, in the showdown of the grand final, the team from Korea took the lead, emerging victorious with a score of 2-1, granting them a well-deserved second place in the competition.
The team was comprised of: Jorge Coronado, Zaid Valenzuela, Luis Alfonso Cruz Jr, Dario Villegas, Karlos Esquer, Ángel Yocupicio, Carlos Medina, Mario Mendoza, Jesús Ramos, Daniel Reyes, Francisco Barreras, and Ulises Sustaita Jr.
