Jose Reyes
Flat Fix, 1245 Jerome Avenue, Bronx NY
Jose Reyes, 45, takes a break from working on a wheel alignment at his Flat Fix auto shop on Jerome. Jose left behind a lucrative career as a professional baseball player to settle down, start a business, and focus on his family. “I played with the Giants, Oakland, and Texas and two independent leagues one in Albany and one in Canada. It’s a beautiful story. If it wasn’t for the draft of 95 when they mentioned the replacements. I was with Texas and I was one of the ones who decided to leave. i stopped playing because they wanted to take me internationally to go play in japan. I already had Johan and my wife told me if I continue that she will be taking our son and moving to Puerto Rico. So then I best decided to not play anymore and instead to be a business owner.”
