The “astral twins” with silk hands

Ramón Urías, an old former amateur baseball player from Magdalena de Kino, Sonora – where no politician is bigger than baseball – is proud of his sons Ramón and Luis, two young men who have always known they were going to be professional players. Today, those “astral twins,” as he calls them – they were both born on June 3, three years apart – line up as infielders in the Major Leagues: the first with the Orioles, the second with the Brewers.

MEXICO CITY (Process) .– The Sonoran municipality of Magdalena de Kino appeared on the radar of Mexicans in 1994, when the presidential candidate Luis Donaldo Colosio, a native of that place, was assassinated. Before that murder, only baseball fans who idolized Sergio El Kalimán Robles, the incredible catcher of the Red Devils of Mexico, knew of that border place where barely 30 thousand people reside.

Of Magdalena de Kino, one of the hundred and so many magical towns that exist in Mexico, it is already said that it is the cradle of the Urías –Ramón and Luis–, the infielders with silk hands and a magic glove that in the 2021 season of the Major League Baseball became the fourth pair of Mexican brothers to belong to a Major League club.
