The question of the week…: Yogi Berra holds the record for the most double games as a catcher, over 18 innings each, and even more innings when he was called in extra innings. How many times was he behind the plate in all double game innings?

The answer …: In addition to catching, in his 19 seasons, until 1965, Yogi was also a left fielder, right fielder, first baseman and third baseman. Now, his double-commitment dates after home plate were 117, or 234 games.

Useless. Inoperative.– Powerful reasons why the unnecessary and harmful VAR (Video Assistant Referee) should disappear from baseball as soon as possible …:
1) .- There are not so many mistakes made by umpires.
2) .- It takes away from the fanatic the opportunity to insult the umpires.
3) .- Minimizes respect for umpires, traditionally observed by players.
4) .- The emotion, the sequence, of the game is interrupted.
5) .- In each claim between eight and 12 precious minutes are lost, and sometimes more.
6) .- Via scenes captured by the cameras it is impossible to guarantee a 100% correct vision. It will always depend on the different angles from where the play is captured.

Hurtado, the one from “Saber y Ganar”, knows nothing and does not win anything. Galloping ignorance, gentlemen!
