As the Rockies take on the Astros in the 2024 Mexico City Series this weekend, Vinny Castilla is a legend coming home. The former Blake Street Bomber, now a special assistant to Rockies general manager Bill Schmidt, is arguably the most famous Mexican-born big league position player in MLB history. He’s also his native country’s most accomplished, as Mexico’s MLB career leader in homers (320), doubles (349), hits (1,884), runs (902) and RBIs (1,105) “I’m sure Vinny’s going to be treated like the mayor on our trip,” third baseman Ryan McMahon quipped.
