While warming up in the bullpen during a 2005 game against the Baltimore Orioles, Cerda developed a fan base known as Cerda's Seven. At the end of the night he was kind enough to sign Butch Carfley's, a NJ high-school football coach, baseball. Cerda's fan club is based in Maryland and has gained in numbers since 2005.

Cerda graduated from Selma High School in California in 1996. He was drafted by the New York Mets in the 23rd round of the 1998 major league baseball draft out of Fresno City Community College.

Cerda is married.
