“Stay Golden Pony : Coming into tonight’s game riding an 19-game on base streak, Esteban Quiroz has been golden at the top of the order for the IronPigs this season. Quiroz was tied for fourth in the league in walks with 21 and 7th in OBP at .460. Nicknamed "Pony" during his first year playing professionally in the Mexican League, the nickname derives from Quiroz being the youngest on the roster that season at just 19. The average age of the Tigres de Quintana Roo roster that season was 31.1 for the position players. Los Tigres won the Mexican League championship that season as well.” - from Media notes supplied by Sam Jellinek - Iron Pigs Manager of Broadcasting and Media Relations
