MEXICO CITY.- Major League Baseball confirmed the preparation games against Major League teams from the ninth divisions that will participate in the World Classic, scheduled from March 3 to 21, 2023, in cities in the United States, Taiwan and Japan.
Regarding the Mexican team, Benjamín Gil’s pupils will face the Cleveland Guardians, on March 8 at Goodyear and the following day in Scottsdale against the Colorado Rockies, in Arizona.
MLB, as it should, is in charge of practically all the logistics and even suggesting to the majority of players, managers and coaches, avoiding unnecessary “groping”, especially in our area.
A day like today, January 7, 1945 — In the most violent incident in the history of Cuban baseball, outfielder Roberto Ortiz, from Almendares, attacks umpire Bernardino Rodríguez, in a dispute at home plate.
Rodríguez is knocked unconscious and Ortiz is suspended indefinitely.
On a similar date in 1991—Major League legend Pete Rose is released from federal prison in Marion, Illinois, after serving a five-month sentence for tax evasion.
He will now begin the second part of his sentence, which consists of 1,000 hours of community service in inner-city Cincinnati schools.
“Of the 17 baseball players who have been banned for life, not one has been reinstated,” Rose said in one of the many times he has pleaded publicly with the commissioner’s office for clemency.
“But given that I have seven major league records and 12 in the National League, you’ll understand why I’d like to add just one more first to my tally before I settle in for the big nap.”
“It’s not that I think I deserve better than those other guys, I just love to win,” stressed the leader in hits in Major League history.
**“Stay ‘safe’ at home. Better times will come.”- Tomateros de Culiacán.
IN seguidillas.- The openers of the Charros de Jalisco, Javier Solano (Águilas Cibaeñas) and Alemao Hernández (Gigantes del Cibao), will debut this Saturday in the playoffs (round robin) of the Dominican League, against Tigres de Licey and Estrellas Orientales, respectively… In Lidom they already had a brief debut, the left-hander from Culiacán, Óliver Pérez (Estrellas), getting one out as a situational relief, and the outfielder from Jalisco, José Juan Aguilar (Águilas Cibaeñas), 2-0. .. In Venezuela, David Gutiérrez (Tomateros) is 0-0 and 3.00 in two appearances in the bullpen for the Leones de Caracas. And his partner in Arco, Carlos Machorro, hung his first ring for the cause of the Sharks of La Guaira, where he makes common cause with the also icing on the cake, Aldo Montes, who had not been required.
