El 5 de septiembre de 1938 se disputó en Veracruz un partido por el campeonato del circuito de verano de béisbol mexicano entre el Águila, el equipo local, y el Agrario del Distrito Federal, liderado por el legendario lanzador Satchel Paige. Esa tarde, Paige tuvo que ser relevado en la octava entrada, y el bateador de los Rojos del Águila, que tenía el mejor promedio en la liga —.387—, conectó un jonronazo con el que desempató el partido y le dio la victoria al lanzador de su equipo, quien terminó el partido con doce ponches. Ese lanzador terminaría la temporada como el mejor de la liga con el mayor número de ponches, el mejor récord y el promedio más bajo de carreras limpias permitidas, 0.92. ¡Pero lo más asombroso del caso es que aquel bateador campeón y aquel lanzador que obtuvo la Triple Corona era el mismo jugador cubano, Martín Dihigo, que con sobrada razón llegaría a ser conocido con los motes de «El Maestro» y «El Inmortal»!1 Once días después, Dihigo se convirtió en el primero en conectar 6 hits en 6 turnos al bate. El año anterior había sido el primero en lanzar un juego sin hits ni carreras, y el año siguiente, en ese mismo circuito, habría de imponer el récord de 34 ponches en dos juegos consecutivos. Sin embargo, lo que le dio la mayor fama fue su versatilidad en el terreno a lo largo de su carrera, que abarcó desde 1922 hasta 1953 como jugador y cómo mánager de diversos equipos de la Liga Profesional Cubana y de las Ligas Negras norteamericanas, además de las de México, Venezuela, República Dominicana y Puerto Rico. Era capaz de jugar en todas las nueve posiciones, de correr como un venado, de batear con ambos brazos, de lanzar con precisión milimétrica, de tirar con brazo de cañón y de ganar campeonatos como mánager.2 Después de haber ingresado a los Salones de la Fama de Cuba en 1951 y de México en 1964, Martín Dihigo fue electo al Salón de la Fama de Cooperstown en Nueva York en 1977, siendo el primer jugador cubano en lograrlo, y a los Salones de la Fama en Venezuela y en República Dominicana en 2010, ¡convirtiéndose en él único elegido en cinco países en la historia del béisbol!   En 1935, siendo mánager de los Cubanos de Nueva York, al darse cuenta de que su paisano exestrella de las Ligas Negras, Cristóbal Torriente, estaba sumido en el alcoholismo y la pobreza, Dihigo lo contrató como entrenador del equipo.3 A ese espíritu generoso se estaba refiriendo «El Cometa Cubano» Minnie Miñoso, quien se crio en la provincia de Matanzas al igual que su ídolo Dihigo, cuando lo describió como «un hombre grande, todo músculo sin una onza de grasa... pero grande en todos los sentidos: como jugador, como mánager, como maestro y como hombre».4 ¡Qué buen ejemplo nos dio aquel «Maestro Inmortal» del béisbol en cuanto a cómo poner en práctica la enseñanza del Maestro Divino, Jesucristo, de que para ser grande, hay que servir a los demás!5 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Enrique García Villarreal, «Dihigo vs. Paige: El duelo que cambió el béisbol», Primer Bat, 29 mayo 2025 En línea 4 julio 2025. 2 Juan A.

A combat-decorated Green Beret and a successful entrepreneur, Congressman Harrigan has dedicated his career to tackling challenges—on the battlefield, in business, and now in Congress.After graduating from the United States Military Academy at West Point with a degree in Nuclear Engineering, Congressman Harrigan commissioned as an Infantry officer and was stationed at Fort Wainwright, Alaska. He deployed to Afghanistan as a young Platoon Leader, commanding a remote combat outpost in the heart of the Arghandab Valley.

As a member of the U.S. Army Special Forces, he returned to Afghanistan to lead operations in increasingly complex and volatile environments. For his service, he was awarded two Bronze Stars in recognition of his leadership and effectiveness in combat. These experiences shaped his understanding of the critical connection between accountability, mission success, and guiding teams under pressure.While serving in the military, Congressman Harrigan and his wife Rocky launched a small firearms business out of their home. Rooted in North Carolinian values of hard work and ingenuity, the company grew rapidly. What began in their living room quickly scaled into a thriving enterprise, producing American-made defense products that support national security. Today, the company operates out of a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Western North Carolina, creating jobs and fostering innovation for the region.The fall of Afghanistan marked a turning point for Congressman Harrigan. Watching the consequences of failed leadership unfold, he knew he had to act. Motivated by his dedication to his country and a desire to restore strength and accountability to Washington, Congressman Harrigan stepped forward to serve in Congress.Now, as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives, Congressman Harrigan applies the same principles that guided him in the Army and in business: bold leadership, unshakable integrity, and a commitment to delivering results.Congressman Harrigan and his wife Rocky have been married for 13 years and are the proud parents of two daughters, Reagan and McKinley.

He has served as the Chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party where he has led our Republican Candidates to unprecedented victories in each of the last two election cycles and has been named as General Counsel for the Republican National Committee where he will oversee all national election integrity programs.Since volunteering for Jesse Helms and President Ronald Reagan in 1984 as a sophomore at Watauga High School, Michael has knocked on doors, worked on phone banks, put out yard signs, recruited & trained volunteers and raised money for Republicans in Local, Legislative, Congressional, Senatorial and Presidential races from one end of North Carolina to the other.As a member of the Florida Recount Team, Michael fought to protect George W. Bush's historically close win and then served President Bush as a Senior Official at the Department of Energy.Michael got to see first-hand how important winning elections is for helping the citizens of North Carolina serving as Chief of Staff for Senator Elizabeth Dole.In 2015, Michael answered the call to help Donald J. Trump in North Carolina and helped deliver the Old North State for President Trump in both the 2016 and 2020 election cycles.Michael has earned a Bachelor's Degree in History from the University of North Carolina–Charlotte, a Master's Degree in Religion from Wake Forest University, a Master's Degree in Theology from the University of Notre Dame and a Law Degree from the Notre Dame Law School.

In this episode of Building the Base, Hondo Geurts and Lauren Bedula sit down with Congressman Pat Harrigan (NC-10), who brings a rare combination of Special Forces experience, defense entrepreneurship, and fresh congressional perspective to America's national security challenges. Drawing from his service in 3rd Special Forces Group, his journey building a weapons and munitions manufacturing company, and his current role on the House Armed Services Committee, Congressman Harrigan discusses the urgent need to revolutionize America's defense industrial base. He shares his candid assessment of government as "a terrible customer," explains his groundbreaking Sky Foundry initiative to build America's first million-drone manufacturing capability, and warns that the nature of warfare has fundamentally changed from the Global War on Terror era. The conversation explores why America must shift from producing "high cost problems to our enemies' low cost solutions" to creating affordable, scalable technologies that can match the pace of modern conflict.Five key takeaways from today's episode:Personal inspiration drives public service, as Rep. Harrigan reveals how his grandfather's vivid memories of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge, details he could recite perfectly even with dementia, showed him "what a formative part of his life he made a huge difference for the trajectory of the world," inspiring his own call to serve when he witnessed leadership failures during Afghanistan's fall.The nature of warfare has fundamentally changed, Congressman Harrigan explains, comparing the shift from the Global War on Terror to today's drone-dominated battlefield as the difference between "basketball and baseball" with 80% of casualties in Ukraine now caused by small, inexpensive FPV drones rather than traditional weapons systems.America currently sits at "effectively zero" drone manufacturing capability while being wholly dependent on Chinese supply chains, Rep. Harrigan warns, as adversaries like Russia and Ukraine produce millions of drones annually at costs dramatically lower than America's $20,000-30,000 per unit.The Sky Foundry initiative represents a revolutionary approach to defense manufacturing, combining government-owned facilities with private contractor intellectual property through a royalty-based system that incentivizes innovation while maintaining competition and driving costs down to $500 per drone.Success requires unwavering persistence, Rep. Harrigan emphasizes, sharing his philosophy of "never give up, never give in" when fighting for his daughters Reagan and McKinley's future, because "there is no substitute for victory" and breakthrough solutions will eventually succeed if you believe in them and keep working regardless of initial resistance.

What does it mean to live a purposeful life? Life Purpose Coach Rick Harrigan knows firsthand the painful disconnect between external success and internal emptiness. After 20+ years in corporate entertainment with all the trappings of the American dream—good money, nice house, white picket fence—Rick found himself profoundly unfulfilled. "I was getting validation from everyone except myself," he shares in this soul-stirring conversation.Rick takes us on his journey from burnout to breakthrough, describing the moment at age 40 when he realized he couldn't continue living a life that wasn't truly his. Working with a coach helped him shed fears around money and perception, allowing him to define success on his own terms for the first time. This transformation was so powerful that Rick left his corporate career, moved to Colorado, and dedicated himself to helping others find their authentic purpose.The most enlightening revelation? Purpose isn't about doing—it's about being. "Purpose isn't what you're doing. It's not your job. It's who you are," Rick explains. It's about identifying your core values and living them in every aspect of your life. For Rick, discovering that "fun" could actually be a core value was revolutionary, contradicting his stoic upbringing but perfectly aligning with his natural disposition.Rick offers profound insights into the process of letting go of old programming. He describes it like creating a new groove in a record—understanding what your old patterns are costing you and envisioning the benefits of living authentically. When someone connects with their purpose, there's an unmistakable energetic shift toward freedom, openness, and joy that emanates from within.Whether you're starting your career, feeling stuck mid-career, or simply seeking greater self-realization, this episode offers valuable guidance for anyone wanting to align their life with their authentic purpose. Visit rickharrigan.com to learn more about Rick's coaching and take your first step toward purposeful living. After all, as Rick reminds us, "failure we can do on our own. Success requires support."

On this episode of The Daily Herold, Jon Herold is joined by Congressman Pat Harrigan for a candid and surprisingly in-depth discussion about the inner workings of Congress, legislative dysfunction, and what it's really going to take to push President Trump's “one big beautiful bill” through both chambers. Harrigan, a former Green Beret and first-time Congressman, doesn't hold back, describing the pace of government as “galactic to glacial,” while explaining the delicate balancing act behind building consensus, curbing spending, and codifying Trump's agenda before time runs out. Jon presses hard on topics like election integrity, foreign lobbying, dual citizenship in Congress, and whether campaign funding influences loyalty. Harrigan holds his own, discussing term limits, national security threats from China, and a pending bill based on Trump's reciprocity doctrine, prohibiting foreign land ownership in the U.S. unless Americans can buy land in those countries. After the interview, Jon pivots to news highlights, including Trump's new reciprocal trade agreement with the UK, speculation around his upcoming “big announcement,” a potential Medicare drug price reform plan, and the DOJ's invocation of state secrets in the controversial El Salvador deportation case. He also covers FBI Director Kash Patel's recent child trafficking crackdown, ongoing Epstein document delays, and the historic selection of Cardinal Robert Prevost as the first American pope. Packed with straight talk, political insight, and sharp analysis, this episode pulls back the curtain on what's moving in D.C.—and what's not.

If the double-murder of Keitha Morris and John White, two University of Texas sweethearts, had taken place today instead of in 1969, you'd probably know all about it. But for decades, it's been hidden — only unearthed now by Texas Monthly contributor Stephen Harrigan, at the behest of White's sister. Harrigan was at UT and even met White just before the murders occurred, but felt almost embarrassed that the city and Longhorns seemed to move on so quickly from such a traumatic incident. Harrigan joins host Nikki DaVaughn to talk about what happened to the couple, whether justice was served when the killer was caught, and why Harrigan, a prolific and award-winning author and screenwriter, loves working in Austin. And, just a note, that you might have already guessed, this interview touches on some explicit topics.

After years of military service, and long before running for Congress, Rep. Pat Harrigan, R-N.C., and his wife started a family and focused on growing their business in North Carolina. The couple had “nothing to do with politics until Afghanistan came crashing down” in 2021.    Watching Afghanistan fall so quickly back into the hands of the terrorists that Harrigan had fought to defeat during his military service was one of the reasons Harrigan says he decided to run for Congress.     “Our politicians failed us,” he said. “Our military leaders failed us. And at some point, you just step back and you realize, if we're structurally so weak that we would lose Afghanistan the way that we lost it, we're just asking our adversaries to attack us.”    “I really do believe that the way that we left Afghanistan condemned the next generation of Americans to conflict,” Harrigan added. “And I want to do everything that I can possibly do here in Washington to deter that next conflict that I think is very likely to happen. And in the event we are not able to deter it, I want to set the conditions to win it because there's no substitute for winning.”    Harrigan's passion for strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base began to take form during his years of military service, going back to when he was 23 and found himself in Afghanistan overseeing about 350 Americans, Afghans, and expatriates at a small combat outpost.  The position was “very difficult,” Harrigan says, but also a “very rewarding leadership experience that really shaped a lot of who I am today.” Harrigan, a graduate of West Point, returned to Afghanistan in 2015 after becoming a Green Beret.    The congressman joins “The Daily Signal Podcast” just one month into his term to discuss how the Trump administration can restore U.S. military readiness, and decrease wasteful use of military resources that is adding to the U.S. national debt.    Please enjoy my conversation with Rep.
