Andy Vargas- Haverhill
Andy Vargas born in Cambridge, MA and moved to Haverhill with his family at the age of 6.
The Vargas family is Dominican-American, and immigrated to the United States from the Dominican Republic in the latter half of the 20th century.
Throughout his life, Andy has always remained conscious of his family's courage and hard work in pursuing the American Dream.
Andy attended Haverhill's Public Schools, including Burnham Elementary, Pentucket Lake, and Haverhill High. For many years Andy played baseball under the Riverside Bradford Baseball League, where he was selected to join the Cooperstown team. After finding out that many young baseball players were unable to afford paying to join a league, Andy organized Haverhill Baseball for All, which received baseball equipment donations to form a free league for inner city Haverhill kids. Baseball for All received donations ranging from baseballs, bats, catcher's equipment, and bases.
