“Those who hit home runs drive ‘Cadillacs’, the others drive ‘Volkswagen’… Anonymous.
Better said, whoever gets up early with home runs wins the playoffs in the 21st century… In these days of October, people no longer proclaim how wise pitchers are, as they used to do in the days of Juan Marichal, Sandy Koufax, Bob Gibson and Don Drysdale …Now, now, television, radio, print and social media spaces are not even used to highlight the power of Bryce Harper (Phillies) against the Braves pitching. The fashionable thing is to publish what Harper does after his hit, like making fun of Orlando Arcia or passing his right hand around his neck… And it is appropriate to highlight that Harper does not use twerking. He only makes gestures, which rather remind us of how badly he has run the bases in previous games and compares it to the power of the day…
Call him Juan or call him Pedro, but when we talk about “the era of home runs” in the history of baseball, we should not mention 1921, the year when Babe Ruth joined the Yankees… We will have to emphasize these days, which are also the global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes and floods and the killing of innocent people in unnecessary wars, like all wars…
On the other side of the Major Leagues, in the American League, the Rangers, who seem more like the crushers of the moment, are not the media novelty that they would have been a few years ago… What they highlight, what seems like news, is not even the monstrous home run by the Cuban from Ciego de Ávila, Adolis García, against the Orioles, but what he did afterwards. “He admired his work,” they published, “he stopped to watch the ball fall and jogged, celebrating with respectful movements that it was the second home run of his postseason”…
The story goes, that Ruth put an end to the base stealing offense, until Luis Aparicio resurrected it in the American League in 1956 and later, Maury Wills in the National… Well, there are already numerous baseball fans who once again ask themselves, what about Where is the base stealing, where have they sent hit and runs?… Traditional answer: “Those who hit home runs drive ‘Cadillacs’, the others drive Volkswagens”…
By the way, Harper can drive “Lamborghine”, because they cost three million 399 thousand 900 paltry dollars, and he has earned so far in baseball, 109 million 592 thousand 308, more, he is signed until 2031, for 23 million 538 thousand 462 dollars annually… The 2024 ‘Cadillacs’ cost 75,730 and the ‘Volkswagen’, 20,655…
Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.
