You may recall the name Alex Ibarra. The seven-year-old Earthquakes fan was the originator of Jahmir Hyka’s awesome nickname Hykachu. Alex and his mother Carina can often be found on game days in Avaya’s standing supporters’ section rooting their favorite team on.
Alex is in the news once again, doing something very rare of someone his age. A big Christian Pulisic fan, Alex had an opportunity to watch the 19-year-old American phenom while the United States Men’s National Team was in town for a World Cup qualifier against Honduras. He even got an autograph on his Pulisic Dortmund jersey, one of more than 50 jerseys in his collection.
