March 20, 2008. That was the day Jose Fernandez's life changed forever.
Three unsuccessful attempts at fleeing Cuba had left Fernandez, his mother and his sister without much hope of joining their father in the United States.
"The first time I couldn't get [To America]." Fernandez said, not long after he'd been drafted. "The second time, they caught me 10 miles away from Miami. When they sent me back, they took me out of school and didn't let me play baseball."
