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.
