Episode 131 - From Vegas Encounters to Youth Baseball: Building Community Through Sport
The moment Sylvia Racinos walked into our studio, twenty years of friendship filled the room with laughter, inside jokes, and the electric energy that comes from shared history. As our first-ever female guest in 131 episodes, Sylvia brought a fresh perspective while helping us unpack a story of coincidence, community, and commitment that spans decades.
What makes this episode special isn't just the nostalgia—though there's plenty as we reminisce about 90s LA nightlife at spots like Villa Sorriso and McMurphy's—but rather how life's random connections create meaningful purpose. Despite growing up just neighborhoods apart in Northeast LA, Sylvia and Migg actually met by chance in Vegas at the Hard Rock Hotel. That coincidental meeting blossomed into a friendship that now supports dozens of young baseball players through Baron's Baseball Academy.
The heart of our conversation explores how Baron's has become more than just a baseball program—it's a community lifeline providing structure, skills, and belonging to kids regardless of their talent level. While many travel baseball teams only accept elite players, Baron's welcomes anyone with the desire to learn, creating opportunities in a neighborhood where organized sports weren't always accessible.
Sylvia shares touching insights about her son Jayden's transformation from a shy, uncertain player into a confident young athlete, alongside stories about weekend tournaments, parent commitments, and the family atmosphere that develops when communities rally around their children. Most compelling is hearing how coaches from the neighborhood—many Sotomayor High School graduates—are creating the youth programs they wish they'd had growing up.
Between Vegas jackpot stories, memories of infamous club incidents (including a friend crashing into a luxury car dealership), and heartfelt moments discussing Sylvia's clothing line honoring her late son, this episode reminds us why community matters. It's about second chances, unexpected connections, and creating something meaningful for the next generation.

Welcome back to the Drifting on Arroyo Podcast. This is Mig, this is Lano, and no RK67. That boy is working again. Yeah, don't be sad, that guy's a jerk. I was in Vegas this past weekend. Any of our drifters out there that follow Instagram saw that your boy, the degenerate bear, struck again in another jackpot.
Lano:You didn't say how much, not it? Oh yeah, not the 13 grand, is it? No, oh oh, it didn't show how much, but on the, not in the description, but I just see the top where the dragon laying the red. Oh, I didn't. They didn't play the whole thing.
Mig:Huh, yeah, oh, I hit for 1400. Oh okay, wow, yeah, so um what casino is that? Yeah, there you go, mandalay Bay.
Lano:Oh, in Vegas yeah.
Mig:And the thing is I wasn't really planning on going this weekend but the only reason I went is cause um, rick was going with um, with uh, his girlfriend and uh. On their side. They had uh, they were going like for a bachelorette, bachelor party kind of deal, you know where, where they were celebrating, but at separate uh airbnbs. And the thing is he wanted to stay sunday night because that was his anniversary for him and his girl. How many years is that? I'm not sure I didn't ask More than that. Well, as a girlfriend, Well officially, officially.
Lano:Because you was dating her for a while or hanging out with her for a while Officially I'm not sure it might be two or three Until some late night bike ride.
Mig:I remember she needed a ride home and that was it A romantic, moonlit Bike ride. But, um, he had asked me if I could get him a room and I was like, well, yeah, dude, I told him, but the only problem with that is that you know, I have to be there to check in, you know, because I can't. You know there's only, I can't figure out any other way to check in without me being there. So I told him well, you know what I could do is I could book the room, because I can't figure out any other way to check in without me being there. So I told him well, you know what I could do is I could book the room from Friday to Monday, but I'll leave Sunday and just leave you keys and you and Vanessa can stay there. You don't have the room for Sunday, and you know, just check out Monday.
Lano:Because nowadays, like check out, it's just like An app or a phone call.
Mig:Yeah, dude, I do everything. Yeah, I do everything on the app.
Lano:Yeah, you don't gotta go to the counter, so it's more easy.
Mig:Yeah so, but the problem is that when you do it on the app, you need the. You need your phone For the keys or to get access to To get on the elevators to go up in the room. And if you want to get like keys you need a qr code that comes out on the phone and that's in your app.
Mig:So I still got to figure out how to like that's checking in, right, that's checking in, manipulating that yeah but, um, what I was able to do is I was able to put his name down as a guest as a guest, so he would be able to. Get his own set of keys. Huh, yeah, so he would be able to make any changes or making whatever.
Mig:You know like go to the front counter and ask for keys, so I wonder if I could do that next time for him. Oh, and ask for keys, so I wonder if I could do that Next time from.
Lano:Oh yeah, he can ask for some Extra keys. Yeah, for Vanessa.
Mig:You know, and then I don't gotta go. I could do all the check in Shit and everything On my phone. So I'll probably try that Next time and see if that works. If not, then I don't know.
Lano:Mandalay Bay.
Mig:Mandalay Bay.
Lano:That's considered the older ones now, right yeah?
Mig:now right, uh, like one of the, yeah, one of the older ones.
Lano:Yeah, how's it maintained? Still looking good and everything it's still good.
Mig:Yeah, yeah, it's not.
Lano:Uh, it's not a shithole like the luxor when I, when I saw this um before the show started, I thought um, this was in the golf trip, this is this. Uh, ricky made a trip right, no, no, the golf trip is uh next month end of september and we don't know if um ricky won any money or anything nah, he didn't even.
Mig:I don't even think they stepped foot. Well, they did step foot in the casinos, but just to go to the, the clubs and stuff and party so my wife wants to go out there.
Lano:She wants to see a show at the sphere that's what I need to start doing more, man.
Mig:I need to start going like checking out shows and stuff and everything. I keep my ass out of the casinos and gambling.
Lano:Well, after you won this, you should have like bought. Well, yeah, dude, but how far?
Mig:how far in between is that dude that I win? Yeah, you know, it's like I gotta keep myself more occupied with with other shit, you know it's like it's too far in between because um I guess the the fears the sphere is showing them, like the wizard of oz, like something really.
Mig:Well, there there was one thing there was one thing that I didn't want to bring up with you guys but that I talked to rick about out there, that he he figured out on his own, but I had been wanting to bring it up like the past few shows with you guys is that there's um, there's a john w, really yeah, dude, it looks pretty badass man, and I seen it and I seen some of those influencers that I follow from Vegas. They went through it and it's pretty badass because it's like a series of escape rooms. But it's all, john.
Lano:Wick themed.
Mig:You know of all the movies, Rooms, you know, but it's All John Wick themed, you know of all the movies. So you go, you go through it and, like you're figuring out All these, all these, um, I guess, puddles, puddles, puzzles or riddles.
Mig:Like an escape room you know so through through each um, through each one. You know you gotta, you gotta figure it out. And what's cool is that they say that all the people that work there are like super dedicated to the characters in the movie and they all act like they're characters in the movie. You know so like the concierge acts just like the concierge. You know Like the gun sommelier acts just like the gun sommelier in there and everything. And they say it's awesome, man, like if you're really like a fan of the on the movies, they say you gotta do it no, it looks pretty cool.
Lano:I'm reading the description yeah.
Mig:So it's kind of. It's kind of like um, like uh, escape room, kind of like um speakeasy kind of deal. You know it's like you can get drinks in there also, and you know it's just like it's cool. You know that's why they call it an experience, you know, because, like it's everything yeah yeah, that area 15 what is um, where's that or where is this at? It's, it's, uh, it's right there, it's like it's right in vegas. It's this big, like warehouse looking thing that just says Area 15 on the side.
Sylvia:And I was wondering what it was.
Mig:And it's just like this big warehouse thing that just has like different, like weird off the wall kind of restaurant and like stores and stuff and bars and just like weird kind of attractions.
Lano:No, it looks pretty cool, it does dude. Let me see how much tickets are for this.
Mig:It's just something I should have looked up and I should have done that.
Lano:There's about $70. About $68 for general admission see, that's not bad dude. Keep yourself occupied for an hour or so, or especially if you're gonna like be part of the whole, like experience the show and stuff you see, you can add on a beverage package you know, so you drink as you're going through there yeah I think, I think it's worth it no, that's cool I mean, especially if you're a fan of the movie, you know.
Lano:I remember Rick was telling us about he's a super huge fan of the Titanic and then he told us about the Titanic experience at Luxor.
Mig:At the Luxor. Yeah, you see, like shit, like that, you know.
Lano:Cause me like if I go I'm taking the family. We can't just be at the casino all day long.
Mig:There were so many kids that were there. I couldn't believe how many kids were there, like running around screaming all over the place.
Sylvia:It was crazy.
Lano:It didn't bother you it didn't bother you.
Mig:I mean like yes and no, you know, cause I was like kind of like what the hell, dude? It's like what happened, it's like what's going on.
Lano:This was in the casino area or just everywhere outside.
Mig:Um, I kind of not not the whole casino, but like near the elevators, cause I guess you know they're going up and down to the room. Yeah, you know they're going to, of course, the pools and everything you know, but like in the hallways and everything, they're all like running up and down, you know, and it's like it's like I started wondering. It's like dude, it's like it's like what's going on in vegas, you know, because it kind of seems like it's kind of emptying out, you know, but now people are starting to take their kids more and everything. It's like it almost seems like it's more of, um, a family destination.
Lano:Now, I remember they're going that way, but then it it stopped. Well, yeah because they weren't making money remember I sent you this video on this. Um, some guy, he went to this pool. Yeah, stadium club. Yeah, you've been. You've seen that, you've been there or that pool it's like in old vegas, but just looks it'll be cool to watch like a super bowl or a game there. Oh yeah, that shit looks awesome. This is like I saw this. You know that thing's open year round. Right that's what I saw yeah, they have.
Mig:They have those pools heated so even in the winter, like when it's like 40 degrees outside, you can still be in the water and the water is heated yeah, I saw a video popped up on YouTube and I was like what is this?
Lano:It's like some massive Sports book pool area.

Mig:I don't know why they were in Vegas, but the reason we were in Vegas was because they were having the monster truck finals and I had gone with my sister and all the kids, all my nieces and nephews Well, my niececes and nephews, we took them so we could see the Monster Truck finals and it was awesome, you know, because they had this big stadium.
Lano:I was going to say where is it UNLV?
Mig:UNLV.
Sylvia:Stadium the football stadium.
Mig:And it was awesome because you know, we were able to see them the way we'd never seen them before because they ran like the full length of the football stadium.
Lano:And before we were only used to seeing them, like in the small arenas.
Mig:You know where they're only like you know, and then jumping there, but this time they're like the full length of the the football fields that we're really able to open it up and haul ass and do some sick jumps and everything man but I remember my dad used to used to go to a couple of those and it was always like half the yeah, I was like that's it, but it was cool, though no, but as a kid you're like, yeah, yeah, this time's it, but it was cool, though no.
Sylvia:But as a kid you're like, oh, cool, cool cool yeah, in Vegas, man.
Mig:it was such a good time, man. It was like my sister loved it so much and like she wanted to make it a tradition that we go every year, but then, like the year or so after, it's like they stopped doing it Because they started moving it around to different locations and everything, and they didn't do it in vegas anymore and I was like so we got to experience one yeah, we grew up watching monster trucks, like saturday morning or no, or like how do we see it on tv?
Mig:well, not, I mean, they just advertise it.
Lano:Oh advertise, but we never like yeah, I remember like seeing bigfoot, like that was bigfoot was. He was the big one but like in gravedigger, but like I remember watching it Like on TV I don't know if it was Saturday afternoon or I remember right around Christmas time they would always advertise the motocross and the monster truck shows. So you have, because I have a three year old and one year old. How old are your kids?
Sylvia:So my oldest Just turned 31, my middle one Not with us, no more, he would 26, uh, in september. And then my little one is jayden, who just turned 13 in july, and he's the one who's a part of the um parents baseball is so.
Lano:Is there still saturday morning cartoons or anything, or no?
Sylvia:I don't know what that looks like because I'm always on the field or in the tournament.
Lano:You're always up and awake outside, but that I remember. I believe so yes, I don't know, because now it's like people don't even watch like local TV, like five and four, it's all streaming. I don't think it is in the sense of how we were dude because we were limited with channels.
Mig:Yeah, you know, it's like we didn't have 500 channels out there to choose from, right, right right, we had to watch whatever was out there, and so we had, like saturday morning, cartoons either on channel 5, 4, 4, 2, 7, or 11.
Sylvia:Yeah.
Mig:You know it's like now. They got like, they got Nickelodeon, they got freaking Like channels dedicated.
Lano:You know they got the the.
Mig:Cartoon Network, you know, they got Boomerang. Disney, they got Boomerang.

Mig:Everything's changing, having to watch the classics. Everything's changing. Playing the classics and having to watch that.
Sylvia:There you go, do it.
Lano:It's funny because I'll put on an old movie and they get into it. I put on Short Circuit the other day.
Sylvia:Remember the little robot Like I put on a short circuit the other day. Remember the little robot? Yeah, I remember that movie.
Lano:That's a good one, yeah, and like I mean my three-year-old and two, they're just like staring at it, like all into it. So I was like, okay, this Charlie 5 stays alive. It saves me about Any VS Ariso stories, because I remember a lot of stuff would happen out there, any that I remember. I remember there would be fights. She knows Ralph, right, I mean Ralph and Dennis.
Mig:Well, she definitely knows, dennis.
Lano:There would always be some fist fights.
Sylvia:There was this other guy that for the life of me I can't remember.
Lano:James Belizean Tall Short.
Sylvia:Gary, was there a Gary?
Mig:Charles, no, charles was the only one. Did you have a friend named Gary? Gary no.
Lano:Ralph. We had a Ralph, then it's a Danny.
Sylvia:No, but he would come out with a Gino. Oh, I know Gino.
Mig:Okay, trust me, I know Gino.
Sylvia:Okay, trust me, I know Gino. Who doesn't know Gino?
Lano:Shout out to G. Well, we had one incident when I mean it's old news, I guess, but Ralph, he took off and then he went straight into the the Roughneck dealership, like across the street we're all saying bye, and he just does a U-turn right into the dealership like across the street. Oh yeah, we're all saying buying this, doesn't you turn right into the dealership? Glass, right.
Mig:Oh that shit, that shit was crazy man.
Sylvia:I'll fast forward the cops there.
Mig:Oh, they were on them they were on them quick, we scattered right, see, the thing is I don't know, was he acting stupid, like trying to drive away? Acting dumb and everything?
Lano:He lost control, I think that was the day when there was a fight and they turned on all the lights and stuff Like a brawl happened.
Mig:Well, his now wife was with him, was she? Yes, that's the whole thing. That's why he got caught. His wife was with him, his now wife, and the thing is well. I guess it was a fight and they all got in his car and he tried getting away and as he was speeding away, I guess he lost control and crashed into the rusnik, into the building like a luxury car dealership.
Mig:Yeah, and so he crashed and I remember the wife had a friend and they were trying to hook me up with her. So you know we had each other's numbers because we we had gone out a couple times and, um, I remember her calling me and she was all frantic, you know, because um, she was saying that they had crashed, you know, and they're gonna kind of go get the friend or anyway, no, the friend and you're gonna go get them, you know, and go help them, you know, because she doesn't know what to do.
Mig:And you know she was like crying hysterically and everything. I'm trying to figure out what the hell's going on. Like, what are you talking about? Well, ralph tells us after, because ralph is, and the ralph tells us after that that he was like yeah, man, he's like, the only reason he got caught, this little fucker, is because, like, when he crashed, he actually thought of just fucking taking off, but then he remembered he was there with his girlfriend who was in the car with him.
Mig:Yes, oh man and so he was like caught in, like like the moral thing or shit. Should I? Am, I gonna stay, am I gonna go, and like I don't know what to do. So he's like go. Well, that's what he wanted to do, but his girl was like no, so he stayed and he got caught and boom, dui, dui, yeah he took care of all that stuff. Changed his life. He took it on the chin and ni modo.
Lano:Got a lawyer, did all the stuff and then paid the fine and all that stuff, and now he's very rich.

Lano:Roger tall like white complected who was the guy that was hanging out with Dennis? He had the SS Super Sport Impala, was it him? I don't know, cause he was tall. I think his name was Charles also, oh, rick's friend, charles, I thought it was.

Mig:Rick Roger. I wonder who then?
Sylvia:I can't remember who he used to roll back to. There's a story behind it, but I don't want to go to that story. That's why I was asking.
Lano:I thought it was someone that I was scared of Are you protecting him or are you protecting you?
Sylvia:No, someone else. Well those days it was a vs, ready for sorry. So, and then?

Sylvia:I'm where that place come through so many? No, no, no, no, there was no on the opposite corner was it.

Sylvia:There was another one that we used to go to In Pasadena.
Lano:Barney's. No, not Barney's. We used to always go for the.
Sylvia:No, it wasn't Barney's. I guess it was like an Irish pub as well, and they used to have dancing in the back.

Sylvia:no, not that's on sunset, isn't it?
Mig:yeah, it's on. That's on sunset. No, no, it was in pasadena.
Sylvia:It was next to dominicals, but it wasn't yeah, I know I could.
Mig:I could feel people right now screaming at us. Yeah, the freaking name of this place I was thinking of Asul, but that was Alhambra no.
Sylvia:I think that's still there.
Mig:Oh, what was it that's going to be bugging me now?
Sylvia:But you know what I'm talking about, right?
Mig:Yeah, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. What site is it on Like close to you? Know what I'm talking?
Lano:about right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I know exactly what you're talking about. What side is it on?
Mig:Like close to a VS Resort, I think it was no well, it was In the middle Like a lake.
Lano:Mm-hmm.
Sylvia:Aren't you going to look it up? You usually do.
Lano:I don't think it's there anymore. I don't think it's there anymore. I don't know a name, or just a club on Lake, I don't know.
Sylvia:Or you could put next to Domenico's, because it was like right next door All right, we'll see.
Mig:What the hell was that place called? That place was good too.
Sylvia:It was good.
Lano:Damn it, Damn this. Is this bad memory? This is all new stuff.
Sylvia:I just got to see.
Lano:This has like Magnolia bar. This has.
Mig:You ever on Instagram see that that page? House Party in the 90s? Yes, whenever they ask that question, aid yourself by Naming the clubs you used to go to.
Sylvia:But we can't even remember.
Mig:I remember and every time, every time I ask that question, I always put down, like caddies I put down Bobby McGee's.
Lano:Oh.
Sylvia:Bobby McGee's was in Burbank, I remember that too.
Lano:We used to go to the Chalet a lot in Ingarock. Oh, the Chalet, that was our spot. We used to go there.
Mig:That was our pre-game. Yeah, we all want to warm up right there. Mcmurphy's.
Lano:McMurphy's. There it is McMurphy's Irish bar, popular on the that's what it was.
Mig:There we go.
Sylvia:That was another one.
Lano:Google AI found it for us In the 90's.
Sylvia:Good times man Good times. I don't think we ever went to. Did we ever go to Ixtapa? No right.
Mig:I think we did, but I don't think it was called Ixtapa. It was called something else.
Sylvia:Yeah, you're right.
Mig:They changed the name on it I was going to say Lucky Baldwins.
Lano:But yeah, mcmurphy. So you guys have been just keeping in touch ever since.
Mig:That's actually funny too, because we had actually kind of like drifted apart and it was just like out of the blue. I guess you were going through your phone and, uh, she was looking up on numbers and she came across my number and wondered if it was still a good number I remember when I was texting.
Sylvia:I was like, hi, is this miggy? And then he replied with hey, sylvia. So I I'm like Mickey, what's up?
Mig:I was like, yeah, it's me, what's up it's been a few years now.
Lano:Yeah, so I always say Mickey, but I wasn't sure if you were like insulted when we called you Mickey, nah, but you know him as Mickey huh.
Sylvia:Oh yeah, oh, yeah, Okay.
Lano:Yeah, because I know he gets all upset. Yeah, I don't think we've ever called Rick Ricky. It's always been Rick yeah.
Sylvia:Yeah.
Mig:Yeah, I don't really care.
Lano:It doesn't really matter to me. Like me, I've had the same number since I got my first phone. You guys have the same number, yeah, so keep in touch, I've never switched numbers.
Sylvia:Yeah, my number has never changed. Some people switch numbers all the time. I've had it since I was like, I think, in like 19.
Lano:Yeah, I wouldn't want to like change it.
Sylvia:I won't say what age I'm now, but let's just say it's, it's.
Lano:It's been a while it's been a while through everything, yeah, so um, I guess we should talk about the barons, though, or? Barons baseball, barons, baseball, baseball. So, um, that feels, I want to say maybe 20 years old. Is that the one on legion park where?
Sylvia:you guys play well, we practice at uh rose hills is.
Lano:Is that um? Is that over here el sereno, or is that over here?
Sylvia:uh, yeah, I guess it's like borderline el sereno okay, so that's the roses I'm thinking, but when?
Lano:But?
Sylvia:when we play Northeast LA Little League we do play up in that field. It's called Nella Little League and yeah, that's called the. It's in something field yeah, it's a I don't, I just it's just nella, we just call it nella, yeah, so you guys practice at rose hills, but the games are like over there, okay, okay unless we're like, um, unless we're doing scrimmages or um, we're doing evaluations, like we are doing this.
Sylvia:uh, actually, this sunday, all of our barons are going to be out there doing evaluations. It's something that we coach every year Evaluate the players to see where they're at, where they've improved from the last time that we were there. So we'll be out there this Sunday pretty much all day.
Lano:And this Little League is part of the nationwide Little League that you see in the.
Sylvia:Little League World Series and all that stuff.
Lano:No, like it's a feeder, it goes into there or no it's a little league, but not like. Not like the one you're thinking like if they win a championship right.
Sylvia:So we have several different age groups and, um, you know each. They do tournaments. So the more they win, you know, the further they get out. Uh, further they go, um, but that's also. But that's like in season. Uh, for example, they like um nettle little league for spring. Uh, we had the tlc spring champions, we had the all-stars. So the further, the more that you play, the more that you win, the further that you go out, and then at some point you start playing other regions, right, yeah?
Mig:but like being named an academy, you guys playing like a bunch of different other tournaments and different leagues and everything right.
Lano:It's like you're not just restricted, just to like oh, no, no no, northeast so right so that's like a club club team, is that they call it?
Sylvia:baron's uh, baron's baseball academy is itself, so we're a different entity from the northeast la little league. That's where we go to play fall ball. Or what if the okay whatever their coaches play, but uh, barron's, it's its own entity, right, yeah? And then, aside from doing travel, we also um break ball. We just finished a season at monastee summer uh which is extra practice for the boys, and then we're going to start up at actually edwards.
Mig:We're going to have three, which is minors and jupiter's, yeah, so you're pretty much like open to anyone that would want to join.
Sylvia:Right like anybody, they can make it yeah, well, they do have to come to tryouts.
Mig:Well, that's what I'm saying anybody that can like physically travel there, they don't necessarily have to come to tryouts. Well, that's what I'm saying Anybody that can physically travel there.
Sylvia:They don't necessarily have to be from the neighborhood no, not at all. Okay, and we also welcome girls as well. We actually do have one girl on the team. Her name is Bea, so she comes to practice out with the Barons, but she is actually a member of the Icons, which is also a travel team, and she actually just came back from cooperstown.
Sylvia:Um yeah, she was out there for a week and that is one of our goals. Um, next summer. We're taking well the coaches are taking I believe it's our 11? U to cooperstown, so it's like a whole week of nothing but baseball. So that's the goal and they weren't next.
Lano:They see, like the museum or the Hall of Fame and stuff.
Sylvia:It's huge. I mean it's like baseball fields and the parents will get to stay, yeah, all camp together, well, in a bunk room or whatever.
Mig:So it's like a baseball camp then Pretty much. Oh, that's cool. You guys have to look it up on.
Sylvia:YouTube. It's pretty cool. My son watches the YouTube all the much. Oh, that's cool. You guys have to look it up on YouTube. It's pretty cool. My son watches YouTube all the time Okay. It's pretty, pretty cool. It's like a.
Mig:That's awesome.
Sylvia:You know it's baseball dream to go there. So we're going to be doing a lot of fundraising.
Mig:And then I want to congratulate your boys team, because I do follow your feed On Instagram and I saw that your boys came in second Right.
Sylvia:They did In this past weekend.
Mig:In the tournament that they played in. So you guys are very proud of your Barons For coming in second in that tournament.
Sylvia:We were in Yucaipa this Saturday. Typically we do For the most part we we do tournaments on Sundays.
Mig:Okay.
Sylvia:So it was actually changed to do it on that Saturday, which was actually really good. So, yeah, we were out there in Yucaipa, it was pretty hot out there. So they played two games back to back, won both. Last game, the championship. We came up short, but you know, they played well, they were confident, they were out there, they did what they had to do and we came in second, but that's okay.
Sylvia:That's all you can ask for the point is that you know they played well, they did good and we're super proud that they came. You know that they made it to the championship.
Mig:That's awesome yeah.
Sylvia:So that's our 12U, and now they're going up to 13U, so that was kind of like a good way to transition Exactly.
Lano:It was pretty cool and that's the age like 12-year-olds or 13U 12 and under Okay, 12 and under yeah.
Sylvia:So now they move up to 13 and then 14.
Lano:So how many different teams like age groups?
Sylvia:do they have?
Lano:We're big, I think the youngest right now that we have are probably 8 or 9-year-olds up to 18. So there's, like I'm just like five different Barron teams, different ages, different groups.
Sylvia:Yeah, I guess I could say that I mean well, you see, when you went that day, yeah, it's a pretty huge.
Mig:It's a big group. It's a big group.
Lano:When you said there's like tryouts, so like some kids won't make it on the team, or are they?
Sylvia:just like you know. The thing is that with Coach Chewy he welcomes anybody. Right there's a kid that might want to play baseball never played baseball before and he basically pretty much just from the basic up until he needs to. So I remember where Jaden started. We actually started with Little League first and then we transitioned into travel, so we've actually been with the barons for a year, and just the change from when he first started to now it's awesome, like you could see it right improvements absolutely so.
Sylvia:That's what uh barons um academy is all about, like, wants to help those kids that want to play, is not going to just turn them away just because they're not great in baseball, right. So it's the kids in the neighborhood that don't know where to go to play baseball. They're welcome at the.
Mig:They're welcome at barons academy absolutely yeah see that's cool, because that's something that I didn't have as a kid, you know it's like, so I just ended up playing just on the streets yeah, you know, I think we all did right when we were that young you know, but if I would have like something organized like that to be able to join, yeah, who knows what could have come of it.
Mig:Yeah, you know it's like, but that's cool. And and did Jaden like, how did he express interest in in playing? Was it just like his buddies playing and dragged them into it, or?
Sylvia:actually he started playing okay. So the boys that um, so my grandson, anthony, um and jayden, they actually sorry, let me backtrack anthony started playing at rio, okay, and he played coach pitch, so jayden would. So I would go to all the games and I would tell jayden that's going. Jayden was just like oh, mom, I don't want to go, like I'm bored, blah blah, and so that summer he's like you know, I'm on my thing, I want to try it. I'm like okay, we can do this.
Mig:So how old was he?
Sylvia:he's probably about nine okay um. So he finally decided to do it, and he's been hooked on it ever since, and of course it was his first time playing rec ball yeah, so he wasn't good, um, but he was super nervous. I remember it was just like we found out who our coach was and we had like one practice and that saturday we had a game.
Mig:So he goes up and he's like what?
Sylvia:do, I do, I'm like just getting your stance, like a boss coming to just swing. And after that first swing he was so nervous he didn't know what to do. I know per guy, and I'm just like you got this kid right and but in my head I'm like, oh my god, we're screwed. I love you son, I love you son. But he, once he swung, he was like okay, like okay, I got this. You know as, yeah, you know as, the more he played he got better. But that summer, after, after the season ended, he was like so determined, right, determined to be like get better. And he did, like he was hitting the park, the batting cages, with his dad and he came. When he came back, it was like a big improvement. And you know, of course it's always room for improvement.
Sylvia:But, there's definitely been huge improvement from when he started. So now, and um, you know a lot of that is because he joins the Barons and you know we have there's like five different coaches and five different styles of coaching. Uh, but the goal is, you know, improve their skills, fundamentals.
Mig:And how did you find out about the Barons, or how did?
Sylvia:how did you find out about the barons? Or how did how did your involvement start? So the barons? Well, so the way that that happened is, as we actually one of my friends her name is melissa, um, her son plays with jayden as well. Her name is steven. So she sent me a screenshot, uh, from the nila little league instagram that there was going to be evaluations. So I'm like okay. So I I said jayden, I'm like go check this out. I'm like it's right here. Never even knew that there was like um travel.
Lano:I'm not saying no, no, not travel um little league in the area right I always heard of it, but actually what never knew where it was, so but normally it's just like a park league or something right like uh, I mean normally like the baseball, like a like right here at like cypress park or something just like a park league in the summer times. Only like not too many people have like actual, like little league, like um, yeah. So the cypress park is more like rec, yeah um.
Sylvia:So we ended up going, we ended up doing, we went to the evaluations and, um, he ended up on the barons. So from there on, we basically um told coach dre that we were interested in doing travel, and it just started from there. And now we're here nice.
Lano:Yeah, now having um, your, your boy, in it, have noticed any like? Um like, does it transfer over to school? Or good habits, like him being like in a structure, like going to practice every day, is he like he wakes up early in the morning? Now, I mean, does he like, has things changed? Like his grades improve? His grades have always been good.
Sylvia:Yeah, so I've never had a problem with that. He, in order, of course, to stay in baseball, he does have to keep his grades up, because I mean, and those are your rules, or the league rules Both. But not even the league. It's more of the coaches. If the coaches know that they don't have good grades, then you know, it's like school comes first.
Mig:But do you notice, is there any like discipline that carries over from like the baseball into like his normal life?
Sylvia:Like, say like keeping his room clean or organized, or Is he a morning?
Lano:person. He wakes up and go because he has practice?
Sylvia:No, no, no. So practices are always in the afternoon, right, but anything that has to do with, you know, cleaning the room, no, but when it has to do with baseball it's room no, but when it has to do with baseball.
Lano:It's straight. Yeah, is he like?
Sylvia:he's your typical.
Lano:13 year old socially was. Was he shy before and now he's able to like talk to other kids. Actually, jayden is actually very shy.
Sylvia:He was very shy, he was very you know to himself he could be a little awkward, okay, actually.
Sylvia:Um, he actually wanted to come today and I was just like dude, listen to me, they're going to ask you questions. You'll just be like I'm like you can't do that. He goes. No, mom, I got it, I got it. I'm like no, maybe next time. But he was like so hyped up and I was just, but I know him already, that's what he says and when he gets to what he's going to do, he just stays quiet and you can ask him a question and he'll look at you and he won't answer so I'm like constantly having to like judge right I still want to go out, like to the field and record like some baseball shots.
Mig:All right well jayden buddy, if you're listening and I hope you are dude, because you should be listening to this because your mom's on. I want you on this show, dude I want to have you on here and I want to talk to you. I want to hear your two cents, and I want to have your mom on here too. So no shyness, we're just gonna chop it up, man, we're gonna be cool, we're gonna be just chill.
Lano:I want to hear your side of the stories or when we go to the field, we'll be the the big yeah, when we're on the field, we'll be the big interview in your comfortable settings.
Sylvia:So that's what I told them. I said why don't you wait until they come to? You know, um, watch the practice, and you know they can talk to you? He's like, oh yeah, I guess we can do that, but we'll see, because once it's once baseball starts, it's like he doesn't listen to anyone. Oh yeah, he's in his own.
Lano:All right, so you ready buddy Coming for you now, Like I'm a new parent, I have a three-year-old and a one-year-old, and all this is like down the road, my future as a parent. Like how much time are you putting in like a week for? Like the practices, the games?
Sylvia:Oh, it's a seven-day thing. Oh, yeah, yeah.
Lano:So it's another shift, another work shift, pretty much, oh yeah, like.
Sylvia:I always, when I get off work, I'll pick up Jaden, and then I'm like so I park whatever. And here comes the parents. I'm like all right, I'm clocking into the job that I don't get paid for, because I'm also, I'm actually one of the team moms for the Barons, along with the other team mom, Stephanie.
Lano:Her son plays also for the baroness ball and team mom like snacks everything or rides everything.
Sylvia:You guys are no, no, no, no, no, that's, that's wreck ball that's soccer, mom, shit dude so we pretty much, uh, stephanie, okay, well, first of all, coach chewy, um, he's very demanding in a good way, right, so we're basically his secretaries, right, um, but no, so what stephanie and I do? We pretty much take care of the calendar, you know, post the practices, we post on instagram as much as we can, um, and just do what needs to be done, like, um, make sure that the kids get registered, um, you know, or coordinate the tournaments, things like that, answer parents' questions and sometimes, and also as well when we're doing evaluations or tryouts, we are like the main people that parents come to make sure the paperwork is all in order. So we kind of keep it all organized and then, that way, he can just focus on coaching. That's what I do, along with Stephanie. It's a hard job, guy now, um, you mentioned like tournaments and registration.
Lano:Do all these tournaments have like fees? You guys gotta pay. You guys raising money or the parents are, like you know, pulling out their pockets. Um, how does it work?
Sylvia:so we yes, for the most part, parents do pay and, depending on the tournament, it depends on the fee as well. So so we have one-day tournaments, we have two-day tournaments and then we have three-day tournaments. We go to Yucaipa, chino Hills, just depends where Chui puts us. That's where we're going. I think probably the closest has been Montebello. At shore, lots of tournaments there. So tomorrow some of our barons, who are also icons, are going to be in Chino playing. It's like a summer league that they are doing, so they'll be out there.
Sylvia:Hopefully they win, and you know, yeah, actually, as a matter of fact, our Barons too I believe it's our 11th is going to be out there tomorrow as well. You're saying places that like think baseball, like you kite.
Lano:But you know like, oh for sure, there's areas you think like these are like, and actually this weekend when we played um.
Sylvia:When we played, uh the tournament, there was actually a team from tahachapi oh yeah and uh, where else? I think it was that. Yeah, I think it was tahachapiipi, so it was like we were in Ukiah, but it was like a two and a half to three hour drive for them.
Lano:Wow, yeah, that's like north.
Sylvia:Mm-hmm. Yeah, I was having a screaming match with the coach. It was like getting louder. I'm like, oh hell, no, I'm going to get louder. Yeah, it was like back and forth.
Mig:Yeah, and for trips like that. Would you like charter like a bus or something?
Sylvia:No, Just like caravan. No, I mean whatever you, just whatever you drive.
Lano:Every parent brings their own kid. Pretty much Wow.
Sylvia:I pack up the Highlander with you know, got the wagon going have the canopy because it was hot out there yeah, it was hot Con la hielera unas cervecitas because you know we got to keep hydrated you, because you know we gotta keep hydrated, you gotta conserve water, exactly. And then you know, but the good thing is is that with um, our barons, like all the parents, we love to eat and so we just have like a huge picnic there, nice and yeah, so we all just get together, put up the canopies and we just chill and wait for the next game.
Sylvia:It's fun. We're like a big, big family, so that's what's also good. We're very family oriented fun, but exhausting.
Lano:It's very exhausting every weekend pretty much well that's like, um, I'm trying to pick a sport, or I'm dreading, like the commitment myself. You got me, it's just for the kids. You gotta do for the kids once it.
Sylvia:Well, you know, once you get in in it, you don't know, you, the kids, you got to do it for the kids. Once you get in it, you don't even know what to do, because this weekend he doesn't have a tournament. He has evaluations on Sunday. But when actually Chewy says we have a weekend off, I'm like yeah, all right, cool. But then when I'm there I'm like what do we do?
Mig:Because all I know is baseball right.
Sylvia:All we know is baseball right. All we know is baseball.
Mig:Yeah.
Sylvia:You know. So the moms are kind of like oh okay, so, but that's just like I miss it when I'm not, and then I'm complaining when I'm doing it. But it's all fun, yeah, he enjoys it, I enjoy it, it's good for him, and so your son.
Lano:He goes to Eagle Rock High or no? No, he goes to irving. He'll be an eighth grader. Yeah, he starts. It is like high school baseball in the future, or no is?
Sylvia:that is the goal. That's the goal, okay, I wasn't sure.
Lano:It's like high school sports still a big deal, or no?
Sylvia:yeah so clubs actually when, once he finishes irving, he's actually gonna be going to franklin? Um, because I believe, uh, coach joey is actually going to be going to franklin. So a lot of the barons have to be going to Franklin for the baseball program, because they do have a good baseball team.
Mig:Oh, they do. Okay, yeah, cool, we had one of our friends, danny.
Lano:He played baseball Remember.
Mig:Oh, he did, huh.
Lano:Yeah, he played baseball.
Mig:For the JVs. I thought it was varsity, yeah.
Lano:I'm not sure. I don't remember We'd always wait for him on the like Q he was. What is it left field? We're always on the opposite street and we used to just hang out watch him play. Oh okay, it's right there in the street where his position was.
Sylvia:Yeah.
Lano:Now so it'll be high school and a baron still, or just one or the other.
Sylvia:Well, I think that once he gets into high school, I mean, he'll still be a Baron, but he'll be playing high school.
Lano:So I think there's like a you age out, huh, pretty much Also Barons. They don't have like a teenage. Thank you I couldn't think of the word you age out. Barons doesn't have a teenage team or like 16 and they still do.
Sylvia:I believe they still do play tournaments, but Actually supposed to Not sure how the whole situation works there, so I leave that up to the coaches. That's the whole coach thing, but yeah, it's pretty fun.
Lano:I was trying to figure out the structure and stuff.
Mig:So your girl's going to be Lady Barons, or what dude I don't know, we'll see.
Lano:Whatever she likes to do, the.
Mig:Lady Barons are actually Softball and fast pitch right, correct?
Sylvia:So, aside from Barons Baseball Academy we just launched, probably like maybe a month ago, if something about there, lady Barons, and we're actually gonna be doing a 12U. Our 12U softball girls are gonna to be doing the league in Burbank. And that starts in September, yeah, and then we have the little ones too, so anybody interested joining the Lady Barons softball got to look us up on Instagram.
Lano:Oh yeah, so like, what's your handle? Is it just Barons? I?
Sylvia:have not. We have not launched anything for Lady Barron's yet. I'm still working on it, but right now we do have. It's Barron's Baseball Academy and that's on Instagram.
Mig:On Instagram Correct, all right. So Barron's Baseball Academy on Instagram. At Barron's Baseball Academy, look it up, we got kids that want to play. I've met these coaches. These are good dudes. They do a great job. They're great with the kids, they run great practices.
Sylvia:Structured practices Strict practices.
Mig:Strict. Oh yeah, that's a good thing. No, yeah, no. I mean, I've been there, I've witnessed it and uh, they, they do a good job. They do a great job. Is this it or no?
Sylvia:no, it's not no um?
Lano:are the coaches all like like from the community or the neighborhood?
Sylvia:they are, yeah actually um two, three of the coaches, uh, coach chewy, coach dray and coach josh.
Sylvia:They all went to sotomayor oh, that's always the high school I always forget about because over there that was because it's so new yeah, but I heard it's like five different schools inside the campus or something like that one of our bands actually goes to Sotomayor and I guess they now it's just called Sotomayor and I think there's only. I'm not sure if it's like one or two something. I didn't catch the whole story, but it's not like there used to be five or four on campus?
Lano:yeah, because it used to be e-cow.
Sylvia:So my son, joshua, actually used to go to e-cows.
Lano:So that's not longer there because he went to soto yeah okay, um, so lady bears coming out soon.
Sylvia:Um oh no, they're already established oh, status.
Lano:So waiting for the website? Um, when is like, um, like the new season or the new cycle starts for like tryouts and all that stuff?
Sylvia:so we are having evaluations this sunday, as I mentioned um, at the northeast la little league uh field, so we're pretty much going to be there all day. It is 25 for evaluations uh, but you, um, you can make that. We also do uh whole tryouts on mondays and Wednesdays at Rose Hills from 6 to 9. So it just depends on your age.
Lano:Is this like the beginning of the new baseball year or just like year-round?
Sylvia:You guys are recruiting. We're always recruiting. Okay, because Barron's travel is year-round.
