It is not changed by anyone. Nor is he out of surprise. Colombian Jorge Alfaro has great moments with the San Diego Padres, the ninth he reached this season from the Miami Marlins.
And almost from his arrival, he began to show his abilities both defensively and offensively. He has managed to get important outs as a catcher and when he has batted, he has already cleared the field six times.
Besides those six homeruns, he already has 18 runs scored, 38 basehits, 19 RBI’s and nine doubles in 39 games he played during this campaign. His batting average is .288. and little by little he becomes a regular part of his team’s line-up.
But the man from Sincelejo has not only gotten people talking because of his performance on the field, but also because of his charisma. And because of that, his team’s fans feel attached to him and even have him as one of the most loved players on the current roster.
Despite the fact that those from California have players like Manny Machado, who is one of the benchmarks, or Fernando Tatis Jr, one of the best on the team, ‘el Oso’ has managed to earn its place in the hearts of the fans. .
That affection was more than demonstrated this week when the fan mural was unveiled on the side of a building in Chula Vista, a US city in the state of California.
In it, the Colombian’s face is captured in the Padres’ uniform with an English phrase that says, “Come on, Padres,” one of the expressions the Sincelejano usually uses after they’ve won a game.
There’s a new one #fathers mural in Chula Vista, or @_JorgeAlfaro11 and its now infamous catchphrase It’s on Third Ave., the same street as the Machado mural, behind Bar Sin Nombre and Three Punk Ales.

That portrait they made of our baseball player takes up much of the wall of that building and is aesthetically very similar to the face of Alfaro, who has displayed his best offensive weapons in this campaign.
After seeing what had been done to him, the 29-year-old recipient made no secret of his enthusiasm for this small tribute paid to him by the fans of the team he plays for this season.
“This is the first time something like this has happened to me. It means a lot to me and my family. It means a lot, not just to me, but to the whole team. We can feel that love, that positive vibe. Good vibes wherever we go go to San Diego. It’s always fun. Nice people. It’s great. It’s heaven,” said “el Oso.”
This mural they made for Jorge Alfaro is on the same street as the one for Machado, another fan favorite of the San Diego Padres, a team currently second in the West Division of the National League. †
