Alright, alright, let’s talk about this… what’s her name again? Yeah, Jacinta Garay. That’s it. Now, I ain’t no fancy writer or nothin’, but I’ll tell ya what I know, the way I know how to say it.
So, this Jacinta, she’s a mama. A mama to, well, a famous fella, I reckon. A baseball player. You know, the kind that swings a stick and runs around in them tight pants? Yep, that’s the one. His name is… hold on a sec… Giancarlo. Giancarlo somethin’. Big fella, hits the ball real far.
Jacinta, she had this boy with some fella named Mike. Mike Stanton, that’s the name. They got hitched, had little Giancarlo, and then, well, things didn’t work out, you know how it goes. They split up when Giancarlo was just a little shaver, eight years old or so. Poor kid.
After that, it was just Jacinta and the kids. She raised them all by herself, in a place called… Too-jung-guh, I think? Somewhere in Los Angeles. Must’ve been tough, a mama raisin’ kids all alone. Working hard, I bet, makin’ sure them young’uns had food on the table and clothes on their backs.
- Now, this Giancarlo, he wasn’t always called Giancarlo, you see. When he was a young’un, folks made fun of his name. Said it funny, I guess. So, he started callin’ himself Mike, like his daddy. Just stuck with it, all the way through school and such.
- But then, when he got big and famous, he went back to Giancarlo. Guess it sounds fancier, more… baseball-y, if you know what I mean.
Jacinta must be proud, real proud. Her boy, makin’ it big in the baseball world. Hittin’ them home runs, hearin’ the crowd cheer. That’s gotta make a mama’s heart swell up. All them years of hard work, all them sacrifices, they paid off.
I hear tell this Giancarlo fella, he plays for the New York Yankees. Big team, lots of money. He’s got a contract, a long one too. Means he’s gonna be playin’ ball for a good long while, makin’ good money for himself and his mama, I reckon.
Jacinta Garay, she’s more than just a mama, though. She’s a strong woman. A woman who raised her kids right, even when things were tough. She’s the kind of woman you’d want in your corner, the kind of woman who always puts her family first.
You know, family, that’s the most important thing. More important than money, more important than fame. And Jacinta, she knew that. She made sure her kids knew it too. That’s why Giancarlo is the man he is today. A good man, a talented man, a man who loves his mama.
And that’s all I gotta say about Jacinta Garay. A good mama, a strong woman, and the reason why her boy, Giancarlo Stanton, is a baseball star. God bless her.
Now, where’s that cup of coffee I poured myself? All this talkin’ made me thirsty.
