El Paso's Rodriguez a Model of Success, Inspiration
Behind every step that’s made big league baseball a truly international game are trailblazers who’ve pushed for their own opportunities while opening the door for others to come behind them. Edwin Rodriguez, born in Ponce, Puerto Rico, in 1960, has spent the bulk of his life elevating his native island’s profile in the sport while carving out a historic career for himself. "That was my [calling],” Rodriguez said. “I really liked that. I have a degree, I have a degree in accounting … but I started as a professional in 1980, and I've been doing that for 41 years, and the best part of all of those years is working in the Minor Leagues, developing players. So I really, really enjoy that." (Jordan Wolf, MiLB.com, 9/21/20)
