We caught up with Walter Alvarez, 70, last Friday to talk about his son's first week in the major leagues. Eddy Alvarez, a former silver medal-winning speedskater at the Sochi Olympic games, picked up his first hit off New York Mets two-time Cy Young award winner Jacob deGrom and his girlfriend, Gaby Pearson, is set to give birth to the couple's first child sometime this week. Walter Alvarez, a Cuban immigrant, owns a construction business and was a boxing promoter for many years in South Florida.
