Xander Bogaerts reunites with his father after 23 long years

Xander Bogaerts and his siblings, Jair and Chandra, were raised by their mother, Sandra Brown, in Aruba. For most part of their growing up, their father was away from family, in Hong Kong, but with the help of Sandra, he remained connected with the family, especially the two boys, calling them on during the festive season.

She never spoke negatively about Jan Marteen nor mentioned any reason why their dad left him. During an interview with the "Bleacher Report" in October 2019, Sandra said:

"Whatever happened between him and me, that was between him and me."

"She didn't make it feel like there was something missing," Chandra said of their mother.

As years went by, Chandra went to Hong Kong in 2012. She would often text her brothers with updates about their father.

Fast forward to the 2018 World Series, when Xander Bogaerts was playing for the Boston Red Sox, the whole family, including his father Jan Marteen, met with the infielder in an emotional reunion. The reunion took place after 23 long years.
