Janai
Mrs. Estrada like her famous husband was too is from Mexico. In 2000, then 17-year-old Janai Paula a junior in high school met Marco at her cousin’s house. In 2006, they eloped to Las Vegas and only told their parents. Money was not enough to start a family.
Marco a minor league player was coming out of an injury and she worked at digital cinema, life as husband and wife would have to wait a little longer, a sacrifice she was willing to make for the man she loves, who studied while she worked.
Her sacrifice, didn’t go unnoticed and Marco gives her and his mom Sylvia for putting him in the place he is today.
“She was the other reason why I was able to get to college, she worked hard to help pay for the apartment we stayed in,” Estrada said. “She would drive all the way to the valley (to work). God bless her.”
About his mom, he said..
“My mom basically said you have to play sports, you have to do something,” Estrada said. “She said, ‘I don’t care what it is, you’re not coming home from school and not doing anything.’ She knew what she was doing. She knew what I was raised around and she didn’t expect me to fall into the wrong hands. It’s a good thing she felt that way.
“Raising me, being a single parent, no siblings. Just her and I. She worked very hard just to be able to pay for the spikes I wore and the glove that I wore. ” Estrada said. “She just retired. I was finally able to say to her, you don’t have to work anymore. All the way since we moved to the United States when I was 5 or so, until this year, she worked. And finally she retired.
“She was always working, which sucked in a way.” Estrada said, meaning that he didn’t get to see his mom as much as he wanted. “But she’s my mom. The one and only.”
