Seth Hernandez is here with his father, Steven, and his mother, Dawn, who said Pittsburgh already "feels like home."
Dawn was emotional in expressing the pride in seeing Seth reach this point: "I'm proud, I'm overwhelmed and I'm humbled. But at the same time, it still hasn't sunk in completely that he is here. He's made it to this place in his life, and he's not done. That's what I know about him, he'll never be done, this will never be enough. There will be the next challenge, there will be the next thing until he walks into that major-league stadium and pitches his first pitch. He's not going to give up fighting for it. ... He's always going to be special, but he's always going to fight, and I can sit back and honestly say that I admire him."
