Ramsés Abreu V. from Maracay, says: “You are a Homeland seller, a dirty person, who deserves to be stripped of your Venezuelan nationality and to be prohibited from entering this country. How is it possible that you have not voted for any Venezuelan to the Hall of Fame, when there are five among the candidates, Bob Abreu, Carlos González, Félix Hernández, Francisco Rodríguez and Omar Vizquel?”
Friend Ram: But what does all that I am have to do with the quality of the game of the five gentlemen?
Jorge Figueroa N. from Hermosillo, denounces: “The Mexican Pacific League does more to lengthen the games than to reduce their duration, as they try in Major League Baseball. Here the games last up to four hours, because this way they sell more beer, which is “The big business. Every game is a meeting of drunks. Is there no authority that can force this League to treat baseball better?”
Friend Yoyo: There isn’t.
