Marlins’ Rojas channels late mom’s ‘pure joy’ with big home run vs Braves on her birthday

Miguel Rojas’ Saturday started with a pair of emotional tributes. On his Instagram story, Rojas posted two pictures about two hours apart focusing on his mom, Norma Naidenoff.

The first was of her laying on the ground taking pictures on a trip in Chicago.

“Pon a bailar a todos en el cielo mami, ahora celebra tu eternidad, te amo y extraño mucho,” reads the caption, which translates to “Make everyone dance in heaven mommy. Now celebrate your eternity. I love you and miss you so much.”

The second was Naidenoff smiling while looking over Rojas’ wife Mariana and son Aaron.
