Baseball typically has nine innings, but when baseball is one's life, the game never really ends.

That’s the case for Lalo Quezada. He started playing in Mexico as a kid and quickly fell in love with the sport.

No one else in his family played baseball, “so I don’t have it in my blood,” he said in Spanish. “I think I was born with that gift, with that desire, that eagerness that hunger for baseball.”

When he moved to Colorado, Lalo brought that passion for the ball game with him.

He joined La Liga Latina de Beisbol in 1990, a Latin Baseball League in Colorado. The league started with four teams back in 1987. Now, up to 70 teams sign up.

Lalo’s track record includes 14 championships, 28 years at bat and six different teams.

Most recently, Lalo runs his own team - Los Diamantes. Lalo trained both of his sons, Obed and Cruz Quezada.

Obed and Cruz say they have a deep appreciation for what the diamond has done for them, which spans from family Sunday games together to full rides to college.
