Make sure you have an onion close by to hide it because this story is extremely emotional and will at least make you smile and a lump in your throat, and maybe tears, because On Mother’s Day, we saw some very cool scenes in the Mexican Baseball Leaguein the series between Leones de Yucatán and Olmecas de Tabasco, and the protagonist is the umpire, Julissa Iriarte.
Julissa Iriarte, the second umpire in the Mexican Baseball League
On May 9, Julissa became the second female umpire in the Mexican Baseball League, which took her by surprise. “Honestly I did not expect it” he said after his debut, explaining that one of the biggest sacrifices he has made to fulfill his dream is to get away from his family.
“The biggest sacrifice I’ve made to get to where I am is leaving my family, my daughter and my parents, and my brothers,” And just to make her feel a little closer to her six-year-old daughter, an emotional video was shown before the game began on May 10.

The umpire could not bear the emotions and well, yes, tears came out, and it is that of course. Julissa was recognized and given a standing ovation by several enthusiastic fans in the stadium.
