(S2) - Weekend PT #6 - Childhood Hero

[cosbornballboy]

As a child, the player that Ricardo Sandoval always looked up to the most was Jorge Sandoval Jr., his uncle, who played tight end and fullback for the Norfolk Lightning of the ZGMFL (@124715). He played for a record 20 seasons, and was one of the all time greats. When the league folded, Sandoval was determined to make it in the NSFL, and even though the ZGMFL is back up and running, Sandoval would not leave the NSFL for the world.

But back to father. Sandoval Jr set countless records in the ZGMFL, including, (but not limited to), most receiving yards in a game (576), most receiving touchdowns in a game (6 in the same game), and most wins amassed in a career, where his record all time was 283-31, not including postseason. He was enshrined in San Diego, CA at the ZGMFL Hall of Fame, with an entire hallway dedicated to himself. Jorge Sandoval Jr. only ended his career when he was killed by the Mexican drug cartel whilst smuggling his son over the border after a trip to his home in Tijuana, MX.

Ricardo Sandoval is dedicated to living out his dreams and proving to his father his death was not in vain.
