Mosqueda graduated from Edinburg High School in the mid-1950s and went on to serve as co-captain of the Pan American College baseball team in 1956 and 1957, in the early years of the Bronc diamond program.
From there, he enjoyed a decade-long career in semi-pro baseball and started a run as an official that would see him adjudicate in football, basketball, baseball, and softball. Known as a willing worker who would officiate games anywhere at any level, Mosqueda was able to put all the knowledge he gained as a player into effect as one of the Valley's most trusted arbiters.
All the while, he exhibited his love for the area's youth by his teaching at a number of schools.
