Eugenio Suárez has a World Series pedigree, a fresh World Baseball Classic championship, and, by his own account, a fear that neither has managed to erase. Professional athletes without citizenship almost never discuss their immigration status publicly, wary of inviting scrutiny they don't need. Fear that legal paperwork doesn't eraseSuárez didn't hedge when a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter caught up with him this spring. Asked directly about the immigration climate, he put it plainly: "I'm a resident here, but I'm still scared because you don't know." That representation gap helps explain why Suárez and Rojas speaking on the record stands out in the first place.
