Blake Sabol parents are Carmalita Brown and Rob Sabol. Blake grew up playing baseball with his two siblings in Aliso Viejo California.
Being raised in an athletic household, Blake followed in the footsteps of his father and older brother, who were collegiate baseball players. His exposure to sports started at a young age.
After completing his education at Aliso Niguel High School, Blake was chosen by the Pittsburgh Pirates in the 2019 MLB draft. Later on, he was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds on December 7, 2022 but he was ultimately traded to the San Francisco Giants.
During Tuesday night's (April 11th) baseball game, Sabol made a single and a stolen base, although he did not contribute to the scoring against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
However, a few moments after the 5-0 win, a commemorative baseball was placed in the young player's locker, an outstanding achievement for any rookie.
The game's first two runs were scored by Joc Pederson, who used to play for the Dodgers. In addition, Mike Yastrzemski also had a great game, scoring four at-bats, one run and two hits.
Blake Sabol Childhood Story
Blake was raised by his mom Carmalita and dad Rob in Aliso Viejo. Rob Sabol played baseball at California State University in Long Beach.
Rob and Carmalita walked down the aisle in the early 1990s, and pictures of their intimate ceremony can still be found on Carmalita's Facebook page.
On her social media handle, there are many images of the household members on vacations in popular California destinations.
They love to vacation together, including a trip to Disneyland in 2011, and many photos show the boys playing baseball, likely inspired by their father. There are also pictures of them playing baseball in Coppertown.
However, looking closely at Carmalita's Facebook activities, it appears that she and Rob have separated. Rob has since remarried Teresa Lo Piccolo Sabol, as seen in their wedding photos posted on August 15, 2020.
Blake Mother Carmalita Brown Sabol
Carmalita obtained her education at Samoa College. She grew up with her siblings named Anne Posala and Joyce Brown Sasi.
Sabol's mom hails from Western Samoa, a former German territory that gained independence from New Zealand in 1962.
She moved to California during her teenage years and raised Blake in Orange County, where he grew up surrounded by a close-knit parentage of aunts, uncles, and cousins.
According to The Athletic, Blake's maternal lineage can be traced back to the Fonoti-Brown family, which boasts a rich and storied history that includes royalty. It is one of the country's most prominent landholding clans.
In Samoa, customary land tenure allows land ownership to be passed down through generations. As a member of the Fonoti-Brown ancestry, Blake Sabol will have a claim to some of that land.
Her Facebook page is a treasure trove of memories, where she frequently shares images of her loved ones celebrating numerous occasions together. These pictures depict a close-knit family that enjoys spending time together.
In December 2018, Carmalita embarked on a week-long vacation to Hawaii and enthusiastically posted about it on her feed.
Carmalita is also an avid supporter of her children and enjoys sharing their accomplishments on her Facebook page. She takes great pride in their growth and success, often posting pictures of them during their younger years, as well as sharing their latest achievements.
