David Harlan * New Orleans, LA

Things are never so simple as they appear.
I interviewed reporter Lester Jimenez and he basically
came up with the same thing: because of the popularity
of basketball and volleyball nobody in Puerto Rico
follows baseball anymore.
Well, there are countries in which everybody follows
football, basketball, hockey, soccer, tennis and
boxing, and they still go to baseball games in record
numbers.
In Central America and the Caribbean they follow
soccer and basketball and still the number one sport
is baseball in a lot of nations.
In Mexico soccer is number one by far and yet they
have a profitable Winter league (and Summer league,
too), and the Caribbean Series is always a huge
success.
So defenitely that is a lie. My question is, who
planted it? Why are all the reporters helping to bury
baseball in Puerto Rico? My experience of half a
century in Latin sports tells me there is a plan, a
well oiled and discrete propaganda machine, and at
least favors changing hands.
Also, there are two and a half places where baseball
has not been promoted, that it looked as if a whole
community was turning its back on a team.
One is Montreal. I thought it was crazy, the way the
city officials were acting (politics? an English
speaking activity in a French community?), and the way
the team owners just waited slow and immobile like
slugs to have the quebecois rush the gates to Olympic
Stadium.
The half is New York, where the Yankees lorded it in
lofty silence and the Mets promoted like crazy.
The other place where the owners ignored the fans is
Puerto Rico.
No promotions.
Not even a website.
Not even stats.
They never fired the most passive president of the
league in history.
They just claim that 1) they have no money. 2) MLB
needs Winter leagues to help develop prospects.
Can you see 3) coming? C'mon, MLB, pay for our league!
I doubt it. MLB will only help those that help
themselves.
Meanwhile, there is crazy talk about the Caribbean
Series.
In Puerto Rico they claim they will be allowed to
field a team made up by invitations.
In the host country, they are happy because Tigres
Licey is celebrating its Centennial Year and would
love to party by adding record Dominican and Caribbean
titles to its considerable collection. But the Series
will be played in Santiago, where Aguilas (a name with
Nicaraguan connotations, even though there no eagles
in Nicaragua) has become Tigres' fiercest rivals, so
they should be at home for the Caribbean Classic. So,
thanks to Borinquen, no problem. They both qualify,
because the host country, by tradition, provides two
teams when one is missing. So the only prerequisite
missing is playing the season and qualifying, which is
for most Dominicans, a mere formality.
In Nicaragua they are happy, they might get invited as
they have been members of the Caribbean Confederation
for three years, though without a vote, and MLB
promised that Nicaragua would be taken into account in
the next WBC for the role they played as Cuba's
understudy and standing by in March of 2006.
In Colombia they are happy because they were just
invited this year into the Confederation, and Tigres
Cartagena defeated Boer Managua in a "Minicaribbean
Series" two games to one in 2007, so at the very least
Colombia should get the right to have an elimination
with Nicaragua to see who replaces Puerto Rico.
And there is the possibility that very quietly, in
Cuba they are also very happy. As second to Japan in
the WBC they have bragging rights to replacing Puerto
Rico.
But, $$$ will tell.

This is what I know of this year:
Amaury Pi-Gonzalez replaces Ivan Lara with the Los
Angeles Angels of Anaheim.
I do not know who replaced him in San Francisco.
I do not know who replaced him in Seattle.
Rene Cardenas replaces Francisco Ernesto "Paco" Ruiz
in Houston, temporarily, due to illness. Rene came out
of retirement to help out.
Apparently there is a clown in Minnesota who does not
know that in several countries baseball is the number
one sport, so it is not true that as a kid he played
soccer "like all the other children in the world"...

Somebody asked some time ago about a Peruvian player
in the Majors; I learned recently about Glenn Dobbs of
the Phillies. His mother is Peruvian and he speaks
perfect Spanish. His family in Peru is fine after the
earthquake, I am glad to say.

Tigers' Neifi Perez hit with 80-game suspension

DETROIT (AP) � Tigers infielder Neifi Perez was
suspended for 80 games Friday after testing positive
for a third time for a banned stimulant, a penalty
that finishes his season.

Perez was suspended for 25 games on July 6 when he
tested positive for a second time. Under baseball's
labor contract, a player who tests positive for the
first time is sent for counseling.

Perez has been the only player suspended by baseball
for stimulants since they were banned before the 2006
season. His first suspension had been set to end after
Friday night's game against the Chicago White Sox.

Where Champions Begin
By Mark Kurlansky
Published: July 22, 2007

In San Pedro de Macor�s, American baseball scouts are
wandering the sandlots and parks, looking for the next
superstar. Finding a champion happens often in this
provincial sugar port in the southeastern Dominican
Republic. Here, in one of the poorest nations in the
Western Hemisphere, baseball is a boy�s best
hope�often his only hope.

Good morning,

I hope you all are having a very pleasant summer!
Here is Seattle, we've enjoyed a number of sunny days,
with familiar periods of rain sprinkled in here and
there.

This is a reminder to those of you are attending SABR
37 in St. Louis, the Latino baseball committee meeting
will (tentatively) take place on Saturday, July 28th
from 10:00-11:00 am in the Rose Garden Room.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to lead this
discussion.  I've had a recent death in my family, and
must be elsewhere to attend to business there.  Our
committee's vice chair and Cepeda chapter president,
Edwin Fernandez, will assume leadership of the
meeting.  Thank you, Edwin.

We have had a very good year.  I would like to thank
each and everyone of you for your participation, your
insight, and your willingness to be a part of
something special.  We have lots more work to do, and
I appreciate your efforts in our endeavor.

Please let me know if you have any questions.  Have
fun in St. Louis.  Make some connections there, and
meet new people.  SABR conventions are truly great
places to bond with people with similar interests.


Gratefully yours,

Anthony Salazar
Chair, Latino baseball committee
Editor, La Prensa del Beisbol Latino

Subject: Live Telecast of USA-CUBA Gold Medal game!

Okay guys, here is an internet connection where you can watch live the
telecast of the USA-Cuba gold medal game (online) Friday morning at 8:45 am.
The only hitch is that you need a good high speed internet connection,
preferably a wireless. AND OF COURSE THE BROADCAST IS IN SPANISH�this is an
ESPN DEPORTES feed. Don�t blame me if it doesn�t work, but I just had it up
and running for a volleyball game a few minutes ago on my home office
wireless.

http://tinyurl.com/2frsjv

<http://terratv.terra.com/templates/channelContents.aspx?channel=925&templat
e=6-6&livebox=true&start=3#>

If you prefer Cuban radio, you can hear Piti Rivera and Roberto Pacheco do
the game live from a Havana feed on the following (click RADIO REAL at the
upper left of the website). Again, you need a good high speed connection.

http://www.radiorebelde.com.cu/

Tune in, enjoy great baseball, and be the only American on your block to
even know that there is a Team USA and that they are playing Cuban tomorrow.

All those interested in the Pan Am Games can follow the action covered in my
daily reports on www.bjarkmanlatinobaseball.mlblogs.com and also on
www.baseballdecuba.com.

My prediction is 6-2 Cuba, but this is a strong and confident young American
team and anything can happen on a soggy field.

Good Afternoon,

Our SABR colleague Brian Borawski is working on a
project, and is seeking some information on whether or
not anyone beside LES CAIN has thrown two no-hitters
in the Puerto Rican Winter Leagues.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.  Brian is
CC'd in this message.


thanks,
Anthony

PS/Enjoy the All-Star Game tonight!
