couldn’t do this all without Oscar,” Héctor says. Héctor’s business, his family and his team are now deeply ingrained into the Clark Field community. Due to his catering business, he already had a relationship with many of the people who were there watching their kids play baseball. There were hardly any unfamiliar faces to Héctor. The love that he and the locals have for each other is more than evident. Even the Little Leaguers know Héctor and give him a wave as they walk by. “The kids are wonderful; they’re a big part of who I am,” says Héctor. Families give him cards to thank him for feeding their kids. The parents and even the Hermosa Beach Police Department are big fans of Héctor and his toothsome tacos. “I would love to continue to do it, and I’ll figure out how,” says Héctor. “I have to do less catering in order to be at Clark Field, but that’s something I’m willing to do.” ■
