NO FIRST PITCH FOR DRUMPF

Below you can read the ‘official stance’.

I really think Drumpf doesn’t want any comparison.

Nor can he take the thunderous booing which very likely will ensue!

Scheduling conflict has led Drumpf to balk at throwing the Opening Day first pitch for the Washington Nationals, the White House said Tuesday

The Nationals also informed reporters at the team’s pre-Opening Day media event that Drumpf would not participate in the longtime presidential tradition.
The Nationals open at home this year, with their first game taking place against the Miami Marlins at 1 p.m. ET on Monday, April 3.

The tradition of a president throwing out the first pitch dates back to 1910, when then-President William Howard Taft hurled one for the Washington Senators’ opener.

IT’S OFFICIAL

I’m not a baseball fan at all.

However, since Martin, my friend from the Netherlands and Mike, a local friend, told me about this Baseball Classic and how well Puerto Rico was performing, I jumped on board and followed the results.

Tonight the winner wins!

I’m rooting for Puerto Rico, my country, of course!

ON THE WAY TO THE FINALS

I’m not really a baseball fan.

I didn’t know this championship was taking place until my dear friend Martin, from The Netherlands, made me aware.

Since then, he’s been keeping me informed and then I go look for info.

Last night was a very important game in many ways.

The main one for us, out countries were going head to head!

He told me …

“In 12 hours we know who plays final.

Good luck Puerto Rico, may the best ball player win!”

Thank you, Martin!

A Puerto Rican Moment …. “It Happens …. What do Puerto Ricans do? …. !!

Posted on June 11, 2016 by Dr. Rex

~~June 11, 2016~~

WHAT WE ACTUALLY DO

Puerto Ricans do not wear Mexican hats.

We may look alike and share similarities.

Thanks to Justice Sotomayor, there’s a good impression about Puerto Ricans.

Puerto Ricans are good at sports, mostly baseball.

We are good at dancing salsa.

What we actually do is gather in pride, celebrate our country and display the flag.

This flag was once forbidden .. illegal to fly.

Remember the “gag law”?

Punishable by law, convicted to serve time.

Not anymore … proudly displayed!!

Roberto Clemente Walker …. “Remembering a Puerto Rican MBL Giant”!!

REMEMBERING ROBERTO CLEMENTE

~he would have been 81 years old today~

Baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente became the first Latin American player to collect 3,000 career hits before his death in a plane crash.

~SYNOPSIS~

Born Roberto Enrique Clemente Walker on August 18, 1934, Clemente played with the Brooklyn Dodgers‘ minor league team before making his major league debut with the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1955. He led the National League in batting four times during the 1960s, and starred in the 1971 World Series.

He died in a plane crash to deliver goods to Nicaragua in 1972.

~BASEBALL CAREER~

Baseball player Roberto Clemente was born on August 18, 1934, in Carolina, Puerto Rico. The son of a sugarcane worker, Roberto Clemente began his professional baseball career just after finishing high school.

He signed a deal with the Brooklyn Dodgers and played with their minor league team, the Montreal Royals, for a season. The next year he went to play for the Pittsburgh Pirates and made his major league debut in 1955.

As the decade progressed, Clemente established himself as one of the top all-around players in baseball. He won three more batting titles, and twice led the league in hits. Furthermore, he boasted one of the most fearsome arms ever witnessed in the sport, consistently unleashing powerful throws from his post in right field. He enjoyed perhaps his finest season in 1966, batting .317 with a career-best 29 homers and 119 RBIs to win the NL Most Valuable Player Award.

~REPUTATION AND DEATH~

Off the field, Clemente was described as a quiet gentleman.

He was proud of his Puerto Rican heritage and stood up for minority rights. Clemente married Vera Zabala in 1963, and they had three sons.

Renowned for his humanitarian work, he died in a plane crash on December 31, 1972, en route to bringing much needed supplies to survivors of an earthquake in Nicaragua. The next year he was elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.

He became the first Latino inducted into the Hall.

I'm originally from Puerto Rico. I was born in Santurce and raised in Rio Piedras. I currently live in Florida - since 1999. I have a doctorate degree in Medicine; completed in 1976. My Internal Medicine specialty was completed in 1979. Worked for Puerto Rico's health system until 1985. At this time, I'm happily retired after working for the federal government for almost 28yrs. I also worked for the government of Puerto Rico from 1979 through 1985 .... for a total of almost 40 years as a physician. I want to offer any knowledge that I have to anyone "out there" who is interested. My views are liberal in almost every sense. My knowledge is "eclectic" - a bit of everything. Music and reading are my passion. Blogging has also become a very interesting endeavor. Metaphysical topics attract me. I'm interested in news - reporting human issues like injustice, discrimination and abuse - the "wrongly" affected. My intention is to bring this knowledge to an understandable level and to help anyone in need. I'm open to questions and will answer them to the best of my ability. Currently working on an enterprise whose main mission will be to bring peoples of all walks of life together. To be one .... since we ALL are ONE!! The future looks bright and promising!!!
