Saturday at the “Steno Borghese” during the match between Nettuno Baseball Club 1945 and Paternò Red Sox, in the sixth inning in the batting box for the Neptune team, the young receiver comes with the jersey number 20 Andres Antonio Nino Annunziata. A number on the shoulders that belonged to Ruggiero Bagialemani and that in 2014 it was decided to withdraw it. Most did not miss the detail for a player who was a “flag” of the Neptunese baseball. The club realizing the mistake apologizes and to be forgiven invites Ruggiero Bagialemani to wear the number 20 jersey again and throw the first ball in the next home match of Neptune. Below is the club press release.
An old adage says “only those who do are wrong”. And we, this time, made a mistake. During the last championship match, the number 20 jersey appeared on the shoulders of our player Andres Antonio Annunziata. Ubani and at number 30 of Faraone. It was a simple distraction that must be interpreted as such, but not diminished for this reason, in which however there has never been any intention of disrespecting a champion like Bagialemani who made the history of our sport and whose status will remain. forever intact in the hearts of all our fans. This is why we invite Ruggero allo Steno Borghese, to go back to wearing his jersey number 20 again and throw the first ball in the next home game of Nettuno. It will be our way to apologize for this small misstep and the opportunity, for our fans, to applaud once again a great athlete who has written his name forever in the history of our team and our city.
