On Friday, the Mets claimed Right Handed Pitcher, Fernando Nieve off waivers from the Houston Astros.
Let’s get to know him….
- 14th child of Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez
- Learned to speak Spanish by being raised in Venezuala
- Overshadowed much of his life by his 8-year old brother, Venezuelan child actor, Steven Blake Nieve, star of Medico Pequeno, a South American spin-off of Doogie Howser, MD.
- Regularly dined as a child with Fidel and Raul Castro on golden chairs and diamond-encrusted chandaliers
- Little brother Steven performed Fernando’s Tommy John surgery last year at the age of seven in the Season 3 finale of Medico Pequeno.
- Regularly manicures his eyebrows, which he says he keeps with a ‘bushy, natural look that’s in at the moment’
- Wears #38 in honor of the 38th president of the United States, Leslie Lynch King Jr, A.K.A Gerald Ford.
- Credits his father, Carlos Blake Nieve, for being ‘guapo’. While his mother was responsible for his oppresive, milataristic, despotistic political ideology.
