Dodgers star Miguel Rojas aces U.S. citizenship test during NLDS
Miguel Rojas might be one of the most genuine figures in all of baseball.
Los Angeles Dodgers star Miguel Rojas has officially become an American citizen after scoring a perfect score on his U.S. citizenship test during the National League Divisional Series. The 37-year-old Venezuela native, who has been playing for the Dodgers since 2014, made his debut with the team in 2014 and spent eight seasons with the Miami Marlins in between stints with Los Angeles.
Rojas made history by hitting the game-tying home run in Game 7 of the World Series against the Toronto Blue Jays last season, helping the Dodgers win their second consecutive championship. Now, Rojas has achieved another personal milestone as he celebrates his American citizenship. He expressed his pride in becoming a citizen, stating that it's more important to him than his World Series rings.
Rojas emphasized that he is more appreciative of the process as a human being, wanting to be judged by his character rather than his performance on the field. The U.S. citizenship test requires applicants to correctly answer 12 out of 20 questions. Rojas exceeded the passing mark with a 100 percent score. Currently, the Dodgers lead the NLDS series against the Atlanta Braves with a 2-1 advantage and need one more win to advance to the National League Championship Series in pursuit of another World Series title.
