Chris Meza grew up on the south side of Chicago in a Spanish-speaking neighborhood. He grew up with two loving parents with the added bonus of his grandparents and aunts living in the same place. Like many Hispanic kids in Chicago, Chris was just as much raised by the barrio as he was by his family. Nothing, including baseball, came easy.

Meza now serves as a junior varsity baseball coach at Hillcrest High School in Springfield, Missouri, and works full-time at a major food production plant. Meza is also the player/manager for the Republic Locos of the Grip 'N Rip Baseball League, which operates from U.S. Baseball Park in Ozark, Missouri.
