RE: First weekly issue of Baseball magazine: The Struggle of Hispanic baseball players to fulfill their dream.

in #writing7 years ago (edited)

This was a wonderful post. Well written, and I'm glad to see an article that isn't curated to two hundred and fifty words for the sake of an ADHD quick read get the vote format.

I absolutely love baseball. The World Baseball Classic is one of my favorite times as a baseball fan. Though I live in the USA I often find myself rooting for the Dominican Republic. As a child, (I was born in the eighties so keep this in mind), I read the biography of Roberto Clemente, and ever since, well, there's something to be said about overcoming adversity that moves my soul and helps me to better love those around me. This might seem ridiculous, it's just baseball, but there's something about it that's different than other sports.

Anyways, great post once again.

También soy de los 80, y precisamente la primera vez que escribí sobre este deporte que tanto amo, fue sobre Roberto Clemente, un Boricua que dio su vida haciéndole honor a su apellido. El béisbol es mucho más que bases y bolas, recientemente no pude ocultar mis lágrimas a ver como la ciudad de Seattle recibía de nuevo a Ichiro, si esos aplausos y muestras de cariño me emocionaron, no sé qué pudo haber sentido ese pequeño japonés dueño de mi admiración y respeto.

Baseball is much more than bases and balls, recently I could not hide my tears to see how the city of Seattle received again to Ichiro, if that applause and tokens of affection thrilled me, I do not know what could have felt that little Japanese owner of my admiration and respect.
