Adrian Gonzalez was born in

Edgar
, a former big leaguer.
[3]
After his birth, his parents moved the family to
Tijuana
, where his father owned an air-conditioner business.
[2]
The three boys grew up playing baseball in Mexico,
[2]
where their father had been a member of the
Mexico national baseball team
.
[4]
In 1990, the family returned to the United States, settling in
Bonita, California
.
[4]
While Adrian was drafted by the
Florida Marlins
out of high school, his brother
Edgar Gonzalez
attended
San Diego State University
and was selected by the
Tampa Bay Rays
in the 30th round of the 2000 draft.
[4]
Edgar debuted in the major leagues as a utility man with the
San Diego Padres
in 2008, joining his brother as a teammate.
[4]
In 2012, David and Alba Gonzalez were named George and Barbara Bush Little League Parents of the Year.
[3]
In November 2012, Gonzalez was honored as one of 30 "exemplary citizens" by the mayor of Tijuana in an official ceremony.

in

; however, his stock increased with his senior-year performance.
[5]
In his senior year, he hit .645 with 13 home runs and 34 runs batted in.

Ugueth Urbina
to aid their championship drive.
[9]
