Desde luego, el bateador tiene más del 50% de ventaja si sabe qué le va a tirar el pitcher. Pero no ha sido este newyorquino el único protagonista de tales actividades en la historia.

Las andanzas de Elijah Dukes, el outfielder de los Nationals, han sido casi un secreto. Y lesionó a gopes a su mujer, fue buscado por deuda de cerca de 50 mil dólares de manutención a sus hijos, más otras bellezas por el estilo.
En cambio, de Alex Rodríguez se publica una verdad junto con 10 "¡¿quién sabe?!" cada día. Claro, Alex es el mejor bigleaguer del momento y Elijah está lejos.
Mayo es el mes de los juegos inter-ligas, pero en este 2009, también lo es de unos Phillies Campeones Mundiales con lesionados valiosos, como los lanzadores Cole Hamels (hombro, codo y tobillo) y Brad Lidge (rodilla). También es mayo 2009, el mes de los Cameones de la Americana, los Rays, en último lugar de su División. Y es el mes del regreso a juego y al escándalo de Alex Rodríguez.

El próximo lunes saldrá el libro de la columnista Selena Roberts acerca de Alex Rodríguez y lo que le viene a A-Rod no es nada fácil. Fue la periodista la que dejó colar la bomba de que el jugador de los Yankees de Nueva York usó esteroides. Obligado, A-Rod tuvo que decir la verdad, mejor dicho, "su verdad".Ahora Roberts volvió a la carga. Dice que A-Rod realmente usaba esteroides desde que estaba en el high school, y no como dice el toletero derecho que fue por dos años. Y hay más en el libro de Roberts que pone al jugador como un tipo, inseguro, un Don Juan impertinente y un malcriado.
Estas son algunas de la joyitas que deja colar Roberts acerca del jugador:
Pues ¿sabes algo Alex? Metiste la pata más profundo con la rueda de prensa esa de mentira.

JUAN VENÉ EN LA PELOTA...
"El amor es una tontería hecha por dos personas"... TVE.-
-o-o-o-o-o-o-
La Serie del Caribe y del Pacífico es un enorme problema, por lo que no se salvará con recursos pequeños. Vamos a los grandes. A una idea que garantizaría Seríe del Caribe, por lo menos dos juegos, todos los años en cada uno de los cuatro países. E ingresos muy superiores a los de hoy por radio, televisión y boletos.
Recorten los campeonatos de invierno una semana y exíganle a Major League Baseball una semana más allá del actual límite para actividad invernal, o sea, hasta el 15 de febrero. Ya tenemos 14 días adicionales más los siete de hoy día. Según pitágoras y mi calculadora, el total es de 21.
El proyecto es jugar dos series eliminatorias a cuatro ganados en siete juegos.
