Excellency: The Club Naranjeros de Hermosillo announced yesterday at a press conference the 2023 edition of the Mexican Baseball Fiesta in the Phoenix, Arizona area, a great event in which they will participate together with Águilas de Mexicali, Algodoneros de Guasave and Yaquis from Cd. Obregon.
Cotton growers will see action for the first time in what will be the eleventh edition to be verified among fanfare in the Valle del Sol area of the neighboring State of the North of our Sonoran entity.
In the informative meeting it was specified that the first game will take place on September 28 at American Family Fields in Phoenix.
Later, they said, from September 29 to October 1 the games will be held at Sloan Park in Mesa where the Home Run Derby will also take place on the 30th.
It should be noted that representatives of the Milwaukee Brewers and Chicago Cubs, who will host this event at American Family Fields in Phoenix and at Sloan Park in Mesa, also attended the meeting, in addition to Club Naranjeros.
Regarding the historic Naranjera franchise:
It is true: for Bucky Dent, who has very fond memories with Naranjeros, the 1978 season with the NYY was completely memorable.
He recently visited the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, seeing him holding in his hands the glove he used in that campaign in which they won the autumn classic against the Los Angeles Dodgers, achieving their second consecutive World Series.
The glove is part of the collection of the venue.
Bucky Dent went down in NYY history in 1978 for his famous home run off Mike Torrez that gave New York victory over the Red Sox in the tiebreaker game of the American League East.
Bucky played in season 16 of the LMP with Hermosillo. That is, 1973-1974.
The Extra Base: With a balance of 60-61, New York is last in its division and there are no signs of life in this team that hits .231 on the season.
No, yes.
We’ll see September if they have a last-minute rally, which could give them lives to reach the postseason via the wild card.
Maybe it’s a peasant dream, but I’ll leave it that way.
Katherine Rosales: Thing: Julio Rodriguez, Seattle’s star outfielder went 5-for-5 yesterday with a double and his 20th home run of the season. And so “like not wanting to” a day before he hit 6-4.
It was Rodriguez’s fifth hit, a new career high, and he is now the first player in franchise history to hit at least 20 homers in his first two seasons.
He also drove in all of Seattle’s first five runs, tying a career high, before Cal Raleigh hit a pinch-hit home run in the ninth.
Rodríguez finished the four-game series going 12 for 21 with one home run, three doubles, 11 RBIs, three stolen bases and only four strikeouts.
Yes and yes: Barnes’ HR against Milwaukee gives Dodgers their 11th straight win
I’ll tell you: Milwaukee’s starting pitcher had seven innings on two hits against the Dodgers; he no longer left for the eighth… and goodbye.
Pedro Mere
Strikeout: Pedro Meré submitted his resignation as helmsman of Olmecas de Tabasco after the elimination against the Leones de Yucatán, but the board did not accept it because they will make an evaluation beforehand. Pray then and how good for the proud countryman of Medellín de Bravo.
Rescue: in memory of Vinicio García. Yesterday was his death anniversary (August 17, 2007 in Monterrey, NL).
Héctor Luis Burruel: Your interview about Toro Valenzuela’s sporting life and his exploits is magnificent, and also as a precursor, let’s say, of our time of Mexican baseball players who have shown power with the glove and with the bat and arm with the pitchers.
In memory of Vinicio Garcia
Rescue of such a notable figure-player from Veracruz. Yesterday was his death anniversary (August 17, 2007 in Monterrey, NL.
That’s how I started: in his youth, Vinicio García Uzcanga wanted to perfect himself as a two-handed hitter, as was seen in his debut with the México Rojos in the 1944 campaign when he started to hit left-handed as a pinch hitter!
Before jumping into professionalism, as a teenager, he was seen with all the enthusiasm of life playing in Puerto Jarocho alongside Memo and Bernardo López, Pedro “Charrascas” Ramírez and Beto Ávila.
(Full column on my FB Baseball and History).
Héctor Luis Burruel: I met Vinicio García (RIP) when he played in the Pacific Coast League.
And speaking of that powerful circuit of yesteryear, I remembered Pepe Bache and Leo Rodríguez, who for a whole afternoon taught me how to field the infield and how Virgilio Arteaga, who played first base, received my throws to first base (1957-1958). . So a server was 13 years old.
