The 25-year-old player has had a tremendous rookie season. The season has earned the rookie the award of becoming the Most Valuable Player of the American League’s Championship Series. In his rookie year, the shortstop is going to be playing the World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.?
Pe?a’s team has swept up the New York Yankees in ALCS, and it would not be wrong to say that it wouldn’t have been possible, if Pe?a wasn’t there. The man did the hard work, the results came, and he got what he deserved for that.? Ahead of the World Series, players of both teams got asked about their first baseball memory that they still remember.?

“On a baseball field, Dominican republic, I remember their shortstop did not have their glove, so he asked me to borrow mine, and the whole game was just switching gloves, and that’s my first memory,”?said Pe?a.
