Apart from the on-field actions, baseball is a game that is known for the emotional moments that it delivers every once in a while. Recently, when the Dominican Republican pitcher Osvaldo Bido received the news of his call-up to the big league, Bido went through all emotions after getting congratulations from the entire team.

Although Bido did not progress through several minor leagues within a single season, he got an opportunity to join the Pittsburgh Pirates and show his developmental traction. Overwhelmed with emotion, he broke down in tears as he shared the life-changing news with his mother.

The right-hand pitcher is a native of the municipal district of Navas in Los Hidalgos, Puerto Plata. This tremendous opportunity knocked on Bido’s door, probably because of his improvement this season with a two-inning start during a Grapefruit League game against the Rays.

Hector Gomez, the MLB Insider, took to Twitter to share this life-changing update about Bido. The translated tweet read “Moments when Dominican pitcher Osvaldo Bidó, 27, receives the news of his call to the Pittsburgh Pirates’ big team and then when he, in turn, informs his mother. Bidó signed at age 21 with a $10,000 bonus. He is a native of the municipal district of Navas, in Los Hidalgos, Puerto Plata. His statistics this season with the Indianapolis, Triple-A team: 3-4, ERA 4.55, 12 J, 10 Outs, 55.1 IP, 46 H, 28 CL, 26 BB, 56 SO, WHIP 1.30”

The post features two heartwarming videos. One is capturing the touching moments of everyone hugging and congratulating Bido. And the other showcases the emotional moment when he shared the news with his mother. The latter video resonates with people around the world, showcasing the universal language of love and family bonds.
