Trenidad Hubbard played 10 Major League seasons in a 19-year professional baseball career. A Chicago native, Hubbard played college ball at Southern University, was drafted by Houston in the 12th round in 1986, and climbed through the ranks to make his Major League debut in 1993 with Colorado. We had a lot of laughs looking back on his career and were inspired by Trenidad's positive attitude and grateful spirit.

Trenidad's apparel company is GameFace USA. He is affiliated with the Players' Alliance, The Hank Aaron Invitational and the annual HBCU Swingman Classic on All-Star weekend.
