THE PRESSURES OF THE BASEBALL
In his revelations, Omi criticized the immense pressures that everyone around baseball is subjected to, just for the purpose of “fulfilling a fantasy.”
“When are we going to talk about how baseball pressures its players and staff to fulfill a fantasy that doesn’t exist for money? !! Let’s ask my dad,” he mused.

“Everybody thinks that being a baseball player or an athlete brings you so much money and happiness, but that’s far from the truth. I saw my dad give years of his life to an organization that he never thought was good enough. to be more than a minor league player, “he continued, reiterating that his father gave his soul to baseball.
Everyone thinks that being a baseball player or athlete for that matter brings you so much money & happiness but that’s far from the truth. I watched my dad give years of his life to an organization that never that he was good enough to be anything more than a minor leaguer.

A MAN WITHOUT FRIENDS
Likewise, he drained about what he considers to be an inattention on the part of the Toronto Blue Jays club, to whom his father dedicated his life for more than 35 years; and forgetting who his companions were supposed to be.
She confessed, hurt, that her father had no friends, he only counted on his family.
“Or all the ‘good friends’ I haven’t heard from in years manage to find my number and call me to see how I’m doing. Where were you 15-20 years ago? My father had no friends. He only had us U.S”
So wait my father worked 35+ years with the @BlueJays and best they could do was post a tweet about his passing. Makes me ????

THE UNKNOWN FACE OF OMAR MALAVÉ: HIS FAMILY LIFE
Jensen continued telling about that part of his father’s life and the baseball environment that few know.
“The truth is that nobody really cared to know what was happening. They just pretended to have influence. I think my favorite memory was when my son passed away, a baseball wife told me that it was better not to have more children at the risk of not having to go through that again. “
The truth is no one truly cared to know what was going on. They only pretended to for clout. I think my favorite memory was when my son passed, a baseball wife told me it’s best not to have more children at the risk of not having to go through that again. #OmarMalave

He concluded that death was even close to the family when his mother also tried to commit suicide in 2015, which left her with brain damage.
“If they had cared about finding out and getting to know my father for real, they would not have been so surprised to learn of my own mother’s suicide attempt in 2015, which left her with brain damage. So yes, not only my father, but also my mother. It’s the life of baseball. “
If they would’ve cared to find out & knew my dad for real they wouldn’t have been so surprised to hear of my own mothers suicide attempt in 2015 that left her w/brain damage. So yup not only my dad but my mother too. It’s the baseball life. #marmalave
