Francisco Romero has been a significant part of the generational change we have seen in Spanish radio sports broadcasting. Growing up in Nogales, Sonora, Mexico, and speaking very little English, he never envisioned that his life's journey would take him from our neighboring country to now calling play-by-play for the Houston Astros. His ascent in the sports media industry has been deliberate as he has worked for six Major League Baseball teams and has broadcasted for other sports franchises.
