The Cubans were Pioneers


Although baseball is accredited
to have been invented by an
American, the one country that followed the United States in baseball and spread the game to the rest of Latin America
was Cuba.

Here is a brief history of Cuba, the largest
island of the Caribbean and the heritage
of baseball in that country.

World Series 2002


The Media came from all over the world.

2002 World Series was in 14 different

languages for 200 countries. And two

California teams took center stage.

Games #1 and #2 were in Anaheim,

#3,4 and 5 at Pac Bell in San Francisco

and #6 and 7 back in Anaheim.

Overall it was a very entertaining

series. Especially if you like hitting.

After 1988 All bets are off…


Major League Baseball

says that Pete Rose

is not in the Hall of Fame

because he placed bets

on baseball games.

As simple as that.

I wonder If Pete lost

any money in the

1988 World Series ?

The Thunder Rolls by Bay Area Writer Peter Elman

The Thunder Rolls – 09/10/02 by

Peter Elman

I’m away from home—far away—Sedona, Arizona, to be exact, and outside my

sister-in-law’s window is the most incredible sight—two gigantic red-rocked

mountains illuminated by bolts of lightning, and every few seconds,

thunder, not just your common summer storm variety, but the loudest,

scariest most primal sounding explosions found in nature are letting us

know once again who’s really in charge.

A few folks may be wondering why this normally effusive scribe has had

nothing to say during the Athletics’ remarkable run. Well, I have had lots

to say, but being the superstitious baseball junkie that I am, couldn’t put

it out there for the public. You see, my last column, dated August 12, was

the last game the A’s lost before the streak. They won, and won, and kept

winning, and there was no way that I would jinx them with my sophomoric

rants. So I waited until now, when the record is behind them and they can

hopefully get back to playing great baseball without the intense pressure

they have been subjected to lately.
