Escarra, 29, is a career minor leaguer who called his mother on Saturday after he found out he had made the New York Yankees roster as a backup catcher when the team breaks spring training and begins its 2025 regular season.

“We’re going to New York,” he told his mother in a video the team shared on social media, prompting her to squeal in delight.

“The dream came true,” he continued before wiping his eyes.

“I can’t believe it, my love,” his mother said after what sounded like a mix of laughing and crying.
