“If Christopher Columbus had not arrived in America, would we all be happy, without the colonoscopies?”… Pacomio.
As always, today, Tuesday and tomorrow, are Mail Days. Please send me your full name and the town or city where you are writing from. Or I can’t answer you.
José Gómez of Banning, California, asks: “Doesn’t the five-day inactivity before their postseason affect the top-ranked teams?”
Friend Pepe: It is very possible that yes. But commissioner Rob Manfred and his partners at ESPN and FOX have spent time considering a change to the system applied this year.
Danilo Rodríguez, from Puerto La Cruz, asks: “What would you recommend to those Major League players who wear such ugly and ridiculous beards?” They think they look good with that appearance. And another question, what does the word culopicoso mean, where does it come from, or is it something of your own?”
Friend Danny: I don’t recommend anything to them, because they, lacking personality, follow the disgusting fashion, since they consider themselves without their own decision. And culopicoso is the one who worries because that itches. The Royal Academy of Language is about to accept the word.
Lisandro Ramírez P. from Aguas Calientes asks: “When will the elevation ceremony to the Mexican Baseball Hall of Fame be this year?”
Friend Chandro: On Thursday, November 9, at seven at night, at the elegant headquarters in Monterrey, Nuevo León.
Tony Goncalves, from Caracas, asks: “If a team prepares a strategic lineup against a certain pitcher, but at the last minute they change that pitcher, is that correct?”
Friend TG: Yes. And the other manager can modify his entire line-up.
Romel J. Millán R. from Puerto La Cruz, asks: “Three runners on the bases, one out, second inning of the last inning, score tied. They hit a fly ball to the outfield, the third baseman makes a pee-run and reaches home safely. The defensive manager appeals to the runner from second, since he went to third without retaking the base. They declare out and the race is void. The game remained tied. Is that correct?”
Friend Romo: That’s correct.
José G. Salinas T. from Cumaná, asks: “After how many years of service can a Major League player collect his pension, how much is it; And if they elevate him to the Hall of Fame, do they pay him anything for that?”
Cheché Friend: After one day as a bigleaguer, you can receive a pension, the amount of which depends on how long you played; Because of Cooperstown, he doesn’t get any money.
Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.
