Former D-back Miguel Montero is clearly enjoying the World Cup

Jun 15, 2018, 4:03 PM

The World Cup is underway in Russia and while the Unites States is, sadly, watching from home, Arizona Diamondbacks fans might catch a familiar face sitting in the stands.

Great place, once in a lifetime

Former D-backs catcher Miguel Montero hasn’t just been taken in the sights in Russia either.

He has been living it up while overseas, including stops to Amsterdam and Frankfurt.

He did, however, run into some trouble.

Speeding ticket, it’s ok I talked my way out of it 😜

Luckily, Miggy is a smooth talker and got out of a speeding ticket, supposedly.

But what’s the only thing better than having one former MLB player at the World Cup? Having two.

Small world the best closer ever HOF Mariano Rivera #worldcupsochi

From the caption, it does not look like Montero and former Yankees closer Mariano Rivera, who blew the save for the Yankees in the 2001 World Series, planned it either.

With much more soccer to be played, it’s almost a sure thing we won’t be seeing the last of Miggy in Russia.

Especially with where he’s sitting.

Can’t get any better ⚽️⚽️
