Cruz Family Legacy in the Majors
from Detroit Tigers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Trei Cruz is set to make his MLB debut this Friday, stepping into the majors to fill a roster spot after injuries hit the Detroit Tigers hard — and in doing so, his family will become just the fifth in baseball history to have a grandfather, father, and son all play in the big leagues. With his dad, José Cruz Jr., a Gold Glove winner, and his grandfather, José Cruz Sr., a 19-year veteran whose number still hangs in Houston, Trei — officially José Cruz the third — is poised to etch his name into history. Though his offensive stats aren’t eye-popping, his defensive prowess in center field could shine. At 27, Cruz has spent most of this season with Triple-A Toledo, and now, with the Tigers’ playoff hopes fading, his debut carries more weight than stats — it’s about legacy.
