(Antevíspera del Natalicio de Juan Marichal) En su debut en las Grandes Ligas en 1960, ganó 2‑0 concediendo un solo hit o imparable al equipo contrario. En 1963 lanzó un juego sin hits ni carreras (la primera vez que un beisbolista hispano lograra esa hazaña en las Ligas Mayores), y dos semanas después lanzó dieciséis entradas en un juego para dar la victoria a su equipo 1‑0. A lo largo de dieciséis temporadas como lanzador en las Grandes Ligas, ganó 243 partidos y perdió sólo 142, ponchando a 2.303 bateadores y permitiendo un promedio de sólo 2.89 carreras ganadas por partido. En las trece temporadas en que intervino en más de once partidos, ganó al menos dieciocho juegos en ocho de ellas, ganó más de veinte juegos en seis de ellas, y ganó al menos veinticinco juegos en tres de ellas. Terminó su carrera con 244 juegos completos como abridor, uno más que el número de juegos que ganó. De ahí que el inmortal Roberto Clemente dijera de él: «No importa lo que él lanza; cuando lo tiene, te derrota»; y que, refiriéndose a su singular estilo y su efectividad, el temible bateador Hank Aaron afirmara: «Jamás he visto a nadie tan bueno como él.» No es de extrañarse, entonces, que Juan Antonio Marichal Sánchez, «El Dandy Dominicano», figurara como lanzador en ocho ocasiones en el Partido de las Estrellas, siendo elegido como el «Jugador más valioso» del partido de 1965; ni que pasara a ocupar su merecido lugar en el Salón de la Fama en 1983. Los Gigantes de San Francisco, el equipo por el que jugó durante catorce temporadas, celebraron en su estadio ese 10 de julio el Día del Salón de la Fama de Juan Marichal.1 A fin de perpetuar su memoria, el 21 de mayo de 2005 volvieron a rendirle homenaje, esta vez fuera del estadio, donde develaron una estatua de 2,74 metros de alto de bronce del «Dandy Dominicano». «Simplemente fue el mejor lanzador de la década de 1960», declaró Peter Magowan, el propietario del equipo. Esa tarde los Gigantes, reconociendo su legado hispano, hicieron algo por primera vez en sus 123 años de existencia: vistieron uniformes con el nombre «Gigantes» en español. Al homenaje asistió, entre otros dignatarios, el presidente de la República Dominicana, Leonel Fernández; así como asistieron, entre otros compañeros, Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Felipe Alou y Orlando Cepeda. Dirigiéndose al público, Juan Marichal dijo emocionado: «Soy yo el que les agradezco por todos los recuerdos. Dejé mi corazón en San Francisco», aludiendo así a la famosa canción en inglés que popularizaron Tony Bennett y Frank Sinatra.2 ¡Qué bueno es que les rindamos tributo a las estrellas que han alumbrado nuestra vida, y mejor aún si lo hacemos cuando pueden disfrutar del momento con nosotros, en lugar de esperar hasta después de su muerte! Reprimamos la tentación de criticar a los que invierten grandes sumas de dinero en tales homenajes, y reconozcamos más bien la verdad de las palabras de Jesucristo respecto a la objeción de Judas Iscariote de que el perfume que María de Betania acababa de derramar sobre Él pudo haberse vendido por muchísimo dinero para dárselo a los pobres. «Ella ha hecho una obra hermosa conmigo —dijo Jesús—. A los pobres siempre los tendrán con ustedes, y podrán ayudarlos cuando quieran; pero a mí no me van a tener siempre.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Juan Marichal Hall of Fame Day: July 10, 1983, San Francisco Giants (San Francisco: Woodford Associates, 1983). 2 Dagoberto Galán, «La figura de la semana: Juan Marichal» En línea 25 julio 2007; «Juan Marichal: su vida», Montecristi Digital, junio 2005 En línea 25 julio 2007. 3 Mr 14:6,7; Jn 12:1-8

(Natalicio de Rod Carew) Nació en 1945 a bordo del tren que recorría la ruta de Colón a Panamá. De ahí que recibiera el nombre del médico, Rodney Cline, que ayudó en el parto a su madre Olga. Era tal su pasión por el béisbol desde su infancia que su tío Joseph French contaba que «con un palo de escoba le pegaba sin fallar a más de cien pelotas de tenis».1 A los quince años de edad, se mudó de Panamá a Nueva York, donde pronto fue descubierto como un pelotero con un futuro prometedor. Ascendió rápidamente a las Ligas Menores, y firmó en 1964 con el equipo de Minnesota de la Liga Americana por cinco mil dólares. En cuestión de tres años no sólo debutó como titular de los Mellizos, sino que en esa temporada de 1967 conquistó el título de Novato del Año, luego de haber sido elegido para jugar segunda base en el Partido de las Estrellas a mediados de año. Jamás olvidaría ese partido, en el que jugó junto a astros de la talla de Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda y Roberto Clemente. A Clemente lo admiraba mucho desde su niñez. Ese fue el primero de dieciocho Partidos de las Estrellas consecutivos en que participaría hasta 1984, año previo a su retiro como jugador activo. Rod Carew nunca pudo jugar en una Serie Mundial, pero a lo largo de sus diecinueve temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, doce con los Mellizos de Minnesota y siete con los Angelinos de California, se destacó en casi todos los aspectos del juego. Se coronó siete veces campeón de bateo y tres veces bateador con más hits o imparables. Fue elegido el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga Americana en 1977. Ese año terminó la temporada a sólo ocho hits de la marca de .400, con un promedio de .388, 50 puntos superior al segundo lugar, siendo ésa la diferencia más amplia en la historia del béisbol. Batió récord al robarse el plato siete veces en 1969. En su carrera acumuló en total diecisiete robos del plato y conectó 3.053 hits, el histórico hit número 3.000 con los Angelinos cuando jugaban contra su antiguo equipo de los Mellizos. A la postre, ambos equipos retirarían el número 29 de la camiseta con que jugó. Y terminó su carrera con un promedio acumulado de .328, promediando más de .300 durante quince años consecutivos. De ahí que fuera elegido lo más pronto posible al Salón de la Fama en 1991; que fuera seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores peloteros del siglo veinte; que en 1977 la revista Time le dedicara su portada, calificándolo como un genuino héroe panameño, y que la revista Sports Illustrated lo comparara con Picasso, diciendo que Carew «maneja el bate como Picasso su brocha».2 «Nosotros jugamos por amor al juego, y lo hicimos con pasión porque fue un sueño de niño jugar ante cincuenta mil personas —dijo Carew en una entrevista en noviembre de 2008—. Hoy es muy diferente; se está jugando por dinero, por el cheque grande»,3 señaló. Más vale que las nuevas generaciones de peloteros recobren esa pasión de antaño. «Porque el amor al dinero es la raíz de toda clase de males —nos advierte el apóstol Pablo—. Por codiciarlo, algunos se han desviado de la fe y se han causado muchísimos sinsabores.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Alfredo A.

The Ojai Studio Artists Tour (Oct. 12-14) kicks off this year with a reception on Friday, Oct. 11th from 5 to 7 p.m. at the Ojai Valley Museum. Then on Saturday, Sunday and Monday (Columbus Day holiday) from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., 63 local artists open their homes to the public. Tickets are only $20 and go to fund scholarships for aspiring young artists. Painter Christopher Noxon and ceramicist Suze Glazebrook talk about how the organization has evolved during its 40 years of history, how it honors its founders, Bert Collins and Gayel Childress (the third founder Marta Nelson passed away recently) and their own journeys to Ojai's arts scene. Glazebrook, who also creates jewelry, grew up in New Zealand, and has lived in Ojai since 1990, while Noxon moved here in 2020 during the pandemic. Glazebrook grew up in an artistic household while Noxon, a journalist and illustrator, launched his painting career fulltime when he moved to Ojai. Both have attracted dedicated collectors. We talked about Ojai artists and OSA manage to reconcile the solitary creation process of art with the very human need for fellowship, why the arts have been key to Ojai's identity and allure for more than a century, how many major arts movements have had an Ojai influence, and much more. We did not talk about the "Battle of Candlestick" on Aug. 22, 1965 between the Dodgers and Giants, when Giants pitcher Juan Marichal bashed Dodgers catcher Johnny Roseboro over the head, creating a 14-minute melee, or the myriad eccentricities of Argentinean president Javier Milei, nor the recent resurgence of salmon runs in the Klamath River. The 2022 book about Beatrice Wood and her influential relationship with Henri-Pierre Roché and Marcel Duchamp is called "Spellbound by Marcel" by Ruth Brandon.

(Natalicio de Orlando Cepeda) Tenía sólo veinte años de edad en 1958, su primer año en las Grandes Ligas, y sin embargo contribuyó a tal grado al éxito de su equipo, los Gigantes de San Francisco, que fue elegido por votación unánime como el Novato del Año de la Liga Nacional. Esa temporada tuvo un promedio de bateo de .312, impulsando 96 carreras y conectando 188 hits o imparables, entre éstos 38 dobles, 4 triples y 25 cuadrangulares. Nueve años más tarde, volvió a contribuir notablemente al éxito de su club, llevando esta vez a los Cardenales de San Luis a coronarse campeones de la Serie Mundial. En aquella inolvidable temporada de 1967 tuvo un promedio de bateo de .325, impulsando más carreras que nadie en la Liga Nacional, 111, y conectando 183 hits, entre éstos 37 dobles y 25 cuadrangulares, por lo que fue elegido, nuevamente por votación unánime, como el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga. Era la primera vez que esa elección había sido unánime desde el año 1936. En 1961, cuando aún vestía el uniforme de los Gigantes, encabezó la Liga Nacional con 142 carreras impulsadas y 46 cuadrangulares. A lo largo de su carrera, superó el promedio de bateo de .300 en nueve de sus diecisiete temporadas, impulsó 1.365 carreras y conectó 379 cuadrangulares. Conectó más de veinticinco cuadrangulares en ocho temporadas, y fue el primero en conectar más de veinte como jugador en cuatro equipos: los Gigantes de San Francisco, los Cardenales de San Luis, los Bravos de Atlanta y los Medias Rojas de Boston. Por eso los aficionados al béisbol lo eligieron una de las Estrellas de la Liga Nacional en siete ocasiones, y a la postre, en 1999, el Comité de Veteranos votó en favor de que ingresara al Salón de la Fama, ocupando así un lugar al lado de su paisano Roberto Clemente y de su compañero de equipo Juan Marichal. Se trata de Orlando Manuel Cepeda, potente bateador de Puerto Rico al que le tocó superar una lesión tras otra sufridas en las rodillas. No dejó de jugar con garra, haciendo honor al apodo Baby Bull («el becerro» en inglés) que le dieron por ser hijo y heredero del talento de Pedro «El Toro» Cepeda, que fue sin duda el mejor pelotero puertorriqueño de su época. En su autobiografía, Orlando «Peruchín» Cepeda cuenta en detalle cómo jugó con todo y ascendió hasta la cumbre del béisbol, sólo para descender hasta la celda de una cárcel por jugar con la marihuana. Luego de diez meses tras las rejas y otros dos de rehabilitación, sufrió el oprobio de haber llegado a ser la vergüenza de su pueblo y una deshonra a la memoria de su padre, y sintió el vacío que deja la separación de su esposa y de sus hijos. De ahí que aquel antiguo «becerro del béisbol» dijera: «Necesitaba algo más grande, más fuerte que yo mismo.»1 De ahí en adelante se entregó a la difícil tarea de recomponer su vida y de advertir a niños y a jóvenes que con las drogas no se juega, ni con quienes las consumen o las venden.2 Tomemos a pecho esta lección que le costó tan caro aprender al ex ídolo puertorriqueño, la misma que el sabio Salomón resumió en el siguiente proverbio: «No abras zanjas si no quieres caer en ellas, ni hagas rodar piedras si no quieres que te aplasten.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Orlando Cepeda con Herb Fagen, Baby Bull: From Hardball to Hard Time and Back [El becerro: Del béisbol al presidio y de vuelta al béisbol] (Dallas: Taylor Publishing, 1998), pp. 167‑87. 2 Ibíd., pp. 215‑16. 3 Pr 26:27 (TLA)

When you look for the winning pitcher across the 1960s, it's impossible to ignore Juan Marichal. The 'Dominican Dandy' gave the Giants their first no-hitter in San Francisco, the first no-hitter seen in Candlestick Park, the first Latin-american no-hitter in MLB history, and the first Dominican player to enter the Hall of Fame. He also received one of the highest accolades any player can achieve… in 1975, the Giants immortalized his beloved #27, a testament in part to Marichal's majestic run of 191 victories during the sixties. Today's game takes us back to the start of his time in the majors. It's June 1962, and the Giants are on a roll with a .690 record. They're on the road to a .518 St Louis, and Marichal is facing Bob Gibson, another name soon to become a legend in his own right. How about one more legend… your play-by-play comes from one Harry Caray (joined today by Jack Buck). You can find the boxscore here. This game was played on June 9, 1962. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/classicbaseballradio/message

Las predicciones de Leonel Fernandez, SM, enero 9, 2023.

Sin Maquillaje, Altagracia Salazar

El ex presidente y candidato presidencial Leonel Fernández ocupa la portada del Listin Diario como su invitado al desayuno de los lunes y afirma cosas que parecerían ciertas pero que viniendo de su boca hay que preguntarle a Google. Dijo que nadie gana con una economía estancada. Dijo que el gobierno del PRM todo lo sobredimensiona, dijo que el PRM perderá la mayoría de las alcaldías y, aunque ustedes no lo crean, mostró preocupación por el proceso que se sigue al ex diputado del PRM Miguel Gutierrez cuyo caso es conocido en La Florida. Fernanndez no cree en ninguno de los números positivos de la actual administración y explica todos los negativos. Que nadie gane una elección con una economía estancada parecería cierto. Hay países como Estados Unidos en los que se han establecido cifras como normas electorales. El número mágico del desempleo es 6% sin embargo Barack Obama convenció a los electores de que sus políticas habían ayudado a sobrellevar la crisis del 2008 y que sin sus políticas estarían peor. Obama fue reelegido. El 2008 fue un año terrible en la República Dominicana. Leonel Fernandez olvidó que el crecimiento de la economía dominicana fue de 3,2% y que en ese año él se reeligió. Debo decir que Fernández se considera a sí mismo una persona excepcional o fuera de serie. Algo así como el Pedro Martinez o Juan Marichal de la política dominicana y que lo que él hizo otro no lo puede hacer. En el año 2012 cuando dijo en NY que tenía 40 mil millones para garantizar la elección de Danilo Medina en la presidencia de la República la economía solo creció un 2, 7% y el año terminó con un déficit superior a los 150 mil millones de pesos algo así como el 7% del PIB de ese momento. Yo podría decir que Balaguer ganó las elecciones del 90 en medio de la peor crisis económica del país pero como Leonel Fernandez escribió un libro que se llama Raíces de un poder usurpado en el que no reconoce el triunfo de Balaguer, consideraré que ese triunfo no ocurrió, pero sí ocurrió. Leonel Fernández tiene una memoria más que selectiva. Ese libro por ejemplo, no aparece en la bibliografía del ex presidente que se publica en su cuartel general de funglode. Ese libro está borrado de su memoria. Hay que esperar 45 días para ver cómo le va a Fernandez como predictor. Febrero es casi ya y mayo se acerca.

On this date in 1965, the Mets opened their fourth season with an 8-1 loss to the Dodgers at Shea Stadium. The 112-loss season didn't even have a moment to gather oxygen before Maury Wills led off with a single, stole second, moved to third on a passed ball by Chris Cannizzaro, and scored on a Willie Davis double. Later that inning, being the 1965 Mets, it became 2-0 Dodgers when Davis scored on a foul pop to Cannizzaro. How the heck did that happen? Did any of our subscribers see the Mets' 1965 opener?If you did see that game, you might also remember that it became 5-0 in the fourth inning when Don Drysdale hit a two-run homer off Al Jackson. That was one of four homers that Drysdale hit in his career against the Mets, tied with Bob Gibson for the all-time lead among pitchers. The Mets have given up 95 homers all-time to pitchers, a number that figures to stay in double digits for many years to come, barring a wave of Shohei Ohtani copycats in the majors.Drysdale hit a solo shot off Tracy Stallard in 1964 at Shea, the two-run dinger off Jackson in the 1965 opener, a tiebreaking solo blast off Warren Spahn in the eighth inning on June 11, 1965, and then one more on July 24, 1966, at Dodger Satdium, off Jack Fisher.Stallard also gave up homers during his Mets tenure to Juan Marichal (1963) and Wade Blasingame (1964), which ties him with Ron Darling, Jacob deGrom, and Dillon Gee among Mets pitchers for giving up dingers to their opposite number. The king of this dubious category? Not surprisingly, it's Tom Seaver, given the amount of opportunities he had.Seaver gave up homers in 1969 to Dan McGinn and Fergie Jenkins (two of six homers that pitchers hit against the Mets that year (tied with 1962 and 2006 — Dontrelle Willis took Jose Lima, Oliver Pérez, and Roberto Hernandez deep that year — for the team record), Juan Pizarro in 1971, Burt Hooton (a grand slam) in 1972, and Larry Christenson in 1976. Tom Terrific got one of those dingers back in 1979, when he took Craig Swan out of the park in Cincinnati.As a Met, Seaver hit six home runs, a team record since broken by Dwight Gooden, who tallied seven. Noah Syndergaard also hit six taters with the Mets.What none of those guys did is hit a grand slam, something no Mets pitcher has done since Jack Hamilton on May 20, 1967… off Al Jackson. Hamilton gave back all four runs within two innings, left the game tied at 4-4, and watched the Mets build back up to a 9-4 lead before losing to the Cardinals, 11-9.Mets pitchers have hit two grand slams, ever, with the other one hit in 1963 by Carl Willey at the Polo Grounds against the Houston Colt .45s. That total of two is equaled by the number of grand slams that the Mets allowed to pitchers in the final season at Shea Stadium: Félix Hernández (off Johan Santana) and Jason Marquis (off Jon Niese) both did it.The Mets are 0-7 all-time when allowing a grand slam to an opposing pitcher. No team has given up more of them since 1962. This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit willetspen.substack.com/subscribe

Hank Aaron Best I ever Saw

One of the most prolific home run hitters of all time, Henry Aaron withstood tremendous pressure to break Babe Ruth's career record. Aaron is often overlooked when historians debate the best player of the 1950s and 1960s. He was a great hitter, winning two batting titles. He was an outstanding base runner with a good outfield arm. His 1957 MVP season led the Milwaukee Braves to the pennant and, eventually, their only World Series title. Late in his career and after his retirement, Aaron was a vocal leader supporting minority hiring in baseball. Some highlights include: 25 Time All-Star 18 Consecutive seasons with 20+ homerun 15 Seasons with 100+ runs scored 14 Seasons hitting over .300 11 Seasons with 100+ RBIs 3 Gold Gloves 2 Batting titles 1957 MVP & World Champion Elected to the Hall of Fame in 1982 Given his career, it is hardly surprising that Aaron contends that" there wasn't a pitcher I felt I could never get a hit off." Nevertheless, he concedes that Juan Marichal and Don Drysdale rivaled Bob Gibson as mound problems. "Hard-throwing right-handers who brushed you back were always tough. Some people remember that I hit more home runs off Drysdale than any other player did, but there were plenty of other times he got me." The two matched up 249 times. During his career, Drysdale allowed only a .645 OPS, Aaron was the exception. He homered 17 times and hit .267/.345/.579, good for a .925 OPS that nearly matched his career mark of .928. Drysdale was one of 13 Hall of Fame pitchers Aaron faced at least 25 times in his career. Aaron managed at least an .820 OPS against nine of them, with particular success facing Sandy Koufax (1.077 OPS in 130 PA) and Steve Carlton (1.025 OPS in 81 PA). His most challenging call is for a catcher. "When he was healthy, there was nobody better than Roy Campanella as both a catcher and hitter. But I played with Del Crandall a long time, and he was a match for anybody defensively." The criteria is he had to play with or against his team, and this is a team he would choose if he had to win one game. The outfield is not identified by position.

Plaaaaaaaay baaaaaaall! Baseball season has started here in America and what better way to kick-off the season than by enjoying this episode of the podcast! Author John Rosengren stops by the show to discuss his latest book: "Classic Baseball: Timeless Tales, Immortal Moments." Joe and John cover just a few of the stories covered in John's latest classic. Come listen to this episode, pick up the book, and get ready for an upcoming summer filled with Baseball! Enjoy! About John Rosengren I once interviewed a woman shot in the head by hijackers and left for dead on the tarmac. I raced my bike against Greg LeMond in South Africa (and beat him). I played a tennis match against the world's top-ranked wheelchair tennis player (and lost). I channeled a 330-pound, Samoan, retired NFL nose tackle who is gay (Esera Tuaolo, for his memoir). I played softball on snowshoes in the summertime (wood chips spread across the infield). I rapped a base hit off former Twins pitcher Rick Aguilera. I listened to a nurse tell me the story of prying a shotgun shell out of Ernest Hemingway's hand when he was intent upon killing himself. I profiled a woman who is a Roman Catholic priest. I attended a powwow with LGBTQ Native Americans. I interviewed a mortician in the room where she embalmed my father. I interviewed a 15-year-old boy in his hospital room after he tried to stop a school shooter. All in a few days' work, stretching back to 1981, when I began freelancing as a senior in high school, same time I got clean and sober. My work has won a couple dozen awards and been nominated for a National Magazine Award and a Pulitzer Prize (but didn't win either of those). Along the way, I have lived in Boise, Boston, Florence, London, Paris, and St. Paul. Today I'm at home in my native Minneapolis with my wife Maria, our two children, and a golden retriever named Maya. About Classic Baseball A collection of iconic, unbelievable, and intimate stories from baseball history that celebrate the enduring impact of the national pastime. Baseball—rooted as it is in tradition and nostalgia—lends itself to the retelling of its timeless tales. So it is with the stories in Classic Baseball, a collection of articles written by award-winning journalist John Rosengren and originally published by Sports Illustrated, The New Yorker, Sports on Earth, VICE Sports, and other magazines. These are stories about the game's legends—Ty Cobb, Christy Mathewson, Josh Gibson, Bob Feller, Frank Robinson, Sandy Koufax, Kirby Puckett—and its lesser-knowns with extraordinary stories of their own. They cover some of the game's most famous moments, like Hank Aaron hitting No. 715, and some you've never heard of, like the time the Ku Klux Klan played a game against an all-Black team. Whether it be the story of John Roseboro forgiving Juan Marichal for clubbing him in the head with a bat, Elston Howard breaking down the Yankees' systemic racism to integrate America's team, or the national pastime played on snowshoes during July in a remote Wisconsin town, these are stories meant to be read and read again for their poignancy, their humor, and their celebration of baseball.

A new baseball season is finally getting underway—bringing with it our enduring optimism. Baseball has helped see us through wars, depressions, and pandemics. It's seen Jackie Robinson break down the color barrier 75 years ago this April, and players like Juan Marichal and Roberto Clemente open the doors of possibility to generations of young people across Latin America. It is more than a game; it's a part of who we are. There's no better person to help celebrate the upcoming season than David Ortiz, a once in a generation star who embodies the best of baseball both on and off the field. David is a 10-time All-Star, three-time World Series champion with the Boston Red Sox, seven-time Silver Slugger, soon-to-be baseball Hall of Famer, and a hero to fans young and old, from New England to the Dominican Republic where he grew up. In this episode, David shares stories about how his parents' love and guidance helped give him the dedication and discipline to succeed; some of the most memorable moments of his career, including breaking “The Curse of the Bambino” in 2004 and rallying the local community and the country after the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing; and his commitment to giving back and making a difference in kids' lives through the David Ortiz Children's Fund.

When the Ojai's 2,300 public school students were sent home last March, we had no idea how long until those students would be back in their classrooms. Turned out it would take more than a year before the schools could safely reopen. One of our earliest guests on the Ojai: Talk of the Town podcast was Tiffany Morse, superintendent of the Ojai Unified School District, to talk about the extraordinary measures the district was taking to make sure that the students (and parents) could meet the terrific challenge of remote learning. Not to mention the hundreds of meals each day being served by the district as many families struggled to get enough to eat. We talked about the entire cohort of student athletes, dramatists and musicians who lost these important rituals of passage, including their graduation ceremonies. This time, the news was a little better. The schools reopened, with safety measures including outdoor classrooms, earlier this month. Among the good news was that Dr. Morse had been recently selected as the Superintendent of the Year for the tri-county region, in large part because of public-private initiatives during the pandemic, as seen in the overwhelming support for a $45 million bond measure, which is already being put to use building public spaces like a community pool and a massive solar project. Morse talked about the measured responses to the tremendous pressures exerted on one side by parents who worried about how far their kids would get behind in their education, and teachers, who worried about losing their lives. It has been a time of great challenge and uncertainty, and now it's time for reflection and taking what lessons we can from this lost year. This deep and wide conversation explores the role of teachers, students and key insights into what makes a community work. We did not talk about taimen fishing on the headwaters of the Amur River, the 16-inning pitching duel in 1963 between Warren Spahn and Juan Marichal, or the novels of Sybille Bedford.

The guys had to pick one catcher, first, second, and third baseman, shortstop, left, center, and right fielders, and one designated hitter. The guys also had to select 5 starting pitchers. The remaining 11 players had to be dispersed among the bullpen and the position players on the bench. Along the way, they had some tough decisions to make: --Vladimir Guerrero Jr. or Sammy Sosa in right field? --Aramis Ramirez, Edwin Encarnacion, or Jose Bautista as the backup third baseman? --Pedro Martinez or Juan Marichal as the ace of the starting rotation? --Will there be enough room for Nelson Cruz, Alfonso Soriano, Starling Marte, or Raul Mondesi? --What about guys like Julio Franco, Jose Reyes, Hanley Ramirez, or Pedro Guerrero?

(Natalicio de Rod Carew) Nació en 1945 a bordo del tren que recorría la ruta de Colón a Panamá. De ahí que recibiera el nombre del médico, Rodney Cline, que ayudó en el parto a su madre Olga. Era tal su pasión por el béisbol desde su infancia que su tío Joseph French contaba que «con un palo de escoba le pegaba sin fallar a más de cien pelotas de tenis».1 A los quince años de edad, se mudó de Panamá a Nueva York, donde pronto fue descubierto como un pelotero con un futuro prometedor. Ascendió rápidamente a las Ligas Menores, y firmó en 1964 con el equipo de Minnesota de la Liga Americana por cinco mil dólares. En cuestión de tres años no sólo debutó como titular de los Mellizos, sino que en esa temporada de 1967 conquistó el título de Novato del Año, luego de haber sido elegido para jugar segunda base en el Partido de las Estrellas a mediados de año. Jamás olvidaría ese partido, en el que jugó junto a astros de la talla de Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle, Hank Aaron, Juan Marichal, Orlando Cepeda y Roberto Clemente. A Clemente lo admiraba mucho desde su niñez. Ese fue el primero de dieciocho Partidos de las Estrellas consecutivos en que participaría hasta 1984, año previo a su retiro como jugador activo. Rod Carew nunca pudo jugar en una Serie Mundial, pero a lo largo de sus diecinueve temporadas en las Ligas Mayores, doce con los Mellizos de Minnesota y siete con los Angelinos de California, se destacó en casi todos los aspectos del juego. Se coronó siete veces campeón de bateo y tres veces bateador con más hits o imparables. Fue elegido el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga Americana en 1977. Ese año terminó la temporada a sólo ocho hits de la marca de .400, con un promedio de .388, 50 puntos superior al segundo lugar, siendo ésa la diferencia más amplia en la historia del béisbol. Batió récord al robarse el plato siete veces en 1969. En su carrera acumuló en total diecisiete robos del plato y conectó 3.053 hits, el histórico hit número 3.000 con los Angelinos cuando jugaban contra su antiguo equipo de los Mellizos. A la postre, ambos equipos retirarían el número 29 de la camiseta con que jugó. Y terminó su carrera con un promedio acumulado de .328, promediando más de .300 durante quince años consecutivos. De ahí que fuera elegido lo más pronto posible al Salón de la Fama en 1991; que fuera seleccionado como uno de los cien mejores peloteros del siglo veinte; que en 1977 la revista Time le dedicara su portada, calificándolo como un genuino héroe panameño, y que la revista Sports Illustrated lo comparara con Picasso, diciendo que Carew «maneja el bate como Picasso su brocha».2 «Nosotros jugamos por amor al juego, y lo hicimos con pasión porque fue un sueño de niño jugar ante cincuenta mil personas —dijo Carew en una entrevista en noviembre de 2008—. Hoy es muy diferente; se está jugando por dinero, por el cheque grande»,3 señaló. Más vale que las nuevas generaciones de peloteros recobren esa pasión de antaño. «Porque el amor al dinero es la raíz de toda clase de males —nos advierte el apóstol Pablo—. Por codiciarlo, algunos se han desviado de la fe y se han causado muchísimos sinsabores.»4 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Alfredo A.

(Natalicio de Orlando Cepeda) Tenía sólo veinte años de edad en 1958, su primer año en las Grandes Ligas, y sin embargo contribuyó a tal grado al éxito de su equipo, los Gigantes de San Francisco, que fue elegido por votación unánime como el Novato del Año de la Liga Nacional. Esa temporada tuvo un promedio de bateo de .312, impulsando 96 carreras y conectando 188 hits o imparables, entre éstos 38 dobles, 4 triples y 25 cuadrangulares. Nueve años más tarde, volvió a contribuir notablemente al éxito de su club, llevando esta vez a los Cardenales de San Luis a coronarse campeones de la Serie Mundial. En aquella inolvidable temporada de 1967 tuvo un promedio de bateo de .325, impulsando más carreras que nadie en la Liga Nacional, 111, y conectando 183 hits, entre éstos 37 dobles y 25 cuadrangulares, por lo que fue elegido, nuevamente por votación unánime, como el «Jugador más valioso» de la Liga. Era la primera vez que esa elección había sido unánime desde el año 1936. En 1961, cuando aún vestía el uniforme de los Gigantes, encabezó la Liga Nacional con 142 carreras impulsadas y 46 cuadrangulares. A lo largo de su carrera, superó el promedio de bateo de .300 en nueve de sus diecisiete temporadas, impulsó 1.365 carreras y conectó 379 cuadrangulares. Conectó más de veinticinco cuadrangulares en ocho temporadas, y fue el primero en conectar más de veinte como jugador en cuatro equipos: los Gigantes de San Francisco, los Cardenales de San Luis, los Bravos de Atlanta y los Medias Rojas de Boston. Por eso los aficionados al béisbol lo eligieron una de las Estrellas de la Liga Nacional en siete ocasiones, y a la postre, en 1999, el Comité de Veteranos votó en favor de que ingresara al Salón de la Fama, ocupando así un lugar al lado de su paisano Roberto Clemente y de su compañero de equipo Juan Marichal. Se trata de Orlando Manuel Cepeda, potente bateador de Puerto Rico al que le tocó superar una lesión tras otra sufridas en las rodillas. No dejó de jugar con garra, haciendo honor al apodo Baby Bull («el becerro» en inglés) que le dieron por ser hijo y heredero del talento de Pedro «El Toro» Cepeda, que fue sin duda el mejor pelotero puertorriqueño de su época. En su autobiografía, Orlando «Peruchín» Cepeda cuenta en detalle cómo jugó con todo y ascendió hasta la cumbre del béisbol, sólo para descender hasta la celda de una cárcel por jugar con la marihuana. Luego de diez meses tras las rejas y otros dos de rehabilitación, sufrió el oprobio de haber llegado a ser la vergüenza de su pueblo y una deshonra a la memoria de su padre, y sintió el vacío que deja la separación de su esposa y de sus hijos. De ahí que aquel antiguo «becerro del béisbol» dijera: «Necesitaba algo más grande, más fuerte que yo mismo.»1 De ahí en adelante se entregó a la difícil tarea de recomponer su vida y de advertir a niños y a jóvenes que con las drogas no se juega, ni con quienes las consumen o las venden.2 Tomemos a pecho esta lección que le costó tan caro aprender al ex ídolo puertorriqueño, la misma que el sabio Salomón resumió en el siguiente proverbio: «No abras zanjas si no quieres caer en ellas, ni hagas rodar piedras si no quieres que te aplasten.»3 Carlos ReyUn Mensaje a la Concienciawww.conciencia.net 1 Orlando Cepeda con Herb Fagen, Baby Bull: From Hardball to Hard Time and Back [El becerro: Del béisbol al presidio y de vuelta al béisbol] (Dallas: Taylor Publishing, 1998), pp. 167‑87. 2 Ibíd., pp. 215‑16. 3 Pr 26:27 (TLA)

11-16-2019 Passed Ball Show. John starts out by talking about the ugly situation that concluded the Browns/ Steelers game this past week. How it embarrassed the league, but most importantly, how it took the fans away from their sanctuary as a sports fan. Violence exists in sports, but this was an over the top decision that makes a mockery of the very game that Miles Garrett was representing, John makes the comparison to the 1965 incident between Juan Marichal and John Roseboro of the Giants and Dodgers, respectively, and suggests a similar reconciliation between the two parties of Garrett and Mason Rudolph. John also brings up the Ron Artest "Malace at the Palace" incident, Marty McSorley and other hockey player stick incidents and asks where this most recent act of violence ranks amongst the rest of sports history. John then reiterates the facts that support a MLB manager having little or no impact on a current team winning or losing and brings to mind the example of Gabe Kapler. There is a cult following that assumes he is not a good manager, or at least was not during his two years with the Philadelphia Phillies. John debunks that silly idea and takes a shot of the credibility of those that believe a manager impacts the game like they used to. The ignorance of those that believe this really has to be acknowledged and the blasphemy that continues to be thrown out regarding this issue needs to involve some accountability. At the very least, those who feel this way have to be looked at as if they do not know very much about baseball. John declares he is now a Gabe Kapler fan. Next, John talks a little about the Houston Astros controversy and what would be the best penalty (assuming they are guilty of using surveillance equipment to steal signs). It would be an embarrassment to the sport if MLB takes away their World Series Championship of 2017. If current MLB managers AJ Hinch, Alex Cora, and Carlos Beltran are suspended for part of the 2019 season, they should be replaced with the computer equipment that does their jobs for them anyway. John finishes off by talking about suspended coaches Sean Payton (2012) and Leo Durocher (1947).
