“The point is not to receive the title, but to know how to use, for your benefit and for the benefit of humanity, what you have been taught”… Joseph McKadew.
Today, like every Wednesday, is Mail Day. If you write to me, don’t forget to send your full name and the town or city where you are writing. Thank you.
Euberto Marte N. from Culiacán, asks: “Is there an RBI, if with a man on third they fly very deep into the outfield and the runner hits and runs, after the ball has made contact with the glove, but the out fielder does not Hold the ball, do you drop it?”
Friend Ube: The runner possibly would have scored on hit and run, but he scored because of the error. There is no RBI.
Augusto Fuentes, from Petare, asks: “What is happening with the reappearance of “El Morrocoy Azul”, a humorous weekly, as you announced weeks ago. I think that will be a great success.”
Amigusto: The idea managers are still working on it. I understand that they have found it difficult to find enough people to write humor, while there are a good number of cartoonists.
I’ll keep you informed. I also believe in that success. There is no humor in Spanish, and we have always lived with many publications of the specialty. We need new Andrés Eloy Blanco, Aquiles Nazoa, Kotepa Delgado, Miguel Otero Silva, Morrocofín, Carlos Irazábal, Víctor Simone DeLima, Isaac Pardo, Claudio Cedeño, Gabriel Bracho Montiel, Carevaca Martínez.
Ludovina Quintero R. from Cancún, asks: “Who has the record for the most errors committed in a lifetime in the Major Leagues?”
Friend Vina: Herman Long, son of Germans, who played between 1889 and 1904, with five teams, including the Highlanders, who later became the Yankees, committed 1,096 errors in his career, which seems to be an unbeatable record.
1,070 of those errors were at shortstop. Only three other big leaguers have made a thousand or more mistakes: Bill Dahlen, 1,080; Deacon White, 1818; and German Smith one thousand nine.
Adalberto Aguerrevere A. from Caracas, asks: “What was your record when Denny McLain finished with 30 victories?”
Triple A Friend: From the history of Denny, the last winner of 30 or more games, 56 years ago, because it happened in 1968. Those numbers were, 31-6, 1.96. The Tigers won the World Series that year against the Cardinals in seven games, with McLain the winner of one and Mike Lolich three.
Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.
