to chico’s family and friends, I recently thought about my friend chico and a year after his passing I feel compelled to remind everyone what a legend and inspiration chico was to me. as a little boy growing up in fall river, I was a (park rat) and when local57 came to town, I was always their batboy and dreamed at the age of 8 that someday I would play for these guys. when I was 13 my family moved to cov. ri. when I was 18, I was at the covered wagon and unbeknownst to me I was told that mr. gotauco was the owner.I politely approached him and explained how I was his team’s batboy every year they played in fall river. to my shock, he responded “I remember you!”. I thought, “no way” but what really mattered is that chico graciously befriende me and although I never played for local57 being his friend was better. you’re biggest fan and dear friend, wayne
