'Big Mike' Garcia has already become a critical part of the club's fabric, according to players and staff. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX baseball Texas sports missionsmilb

The June sun beats down on Nelson Wolff Stadium as the San Antonio Missions get in some practice before a regular season game.

Garcia was a baseball fan from a young age, but born with a mental disability, he knew he'd face limitations pursuing a career as a pro athlete. That hasn't stopped him from bringing his contagious brand of enthusiasm to two Minor League teams. That camaraderie is clear during practice as Garcia hustles back and forth from the clubhouse, refills water coolers and whips up a batch of"Big Mike Special" Powerade. He's met with handshakes and fist bumps from every staff member, coach and player who crosses his path. On game days, Garcia arrives at the stadium at 2 p.m.

His nine-year tenure with the Skeeters came at an exciting time. He was part of championship teams in 2016 and 2018 and became such a fan favorite that the club created a"Big Mike" bobblehead in his honor. Earlier this year, Minor League Baseball's official website published a profile of Garcia, highlighting his enduring popularity in Sugar Land.

After each batter's time at the plate, Garcia sprints to retrieve the bat, waving his arms toward the crowd like a conductor with a symphony. He knows his job goes beyond picking up equipment.
