It's a shame that a few have been enjoying these. Today and in the past we have seen great plays and great players.

One of my favorites is/was el señor Chico Escuela. A fellow honorary Miamian, Chico was probably the best of the best.

I at the time was the president of the Miami chapter of the Chico Escuela Fan Club. I will share some of my memorabilia with everyone and our official club shirt.

And always remember his response (as he would say) "to when they would speak to me in American" ;

"Besabal been bera bera good to me"

This reminds me maybe I should post on our very own Livan Hernandez  " I luv you Miami "

Ah yes Chico would have been in the hall of fame today if it wasn't for the book he wrote :

Chico would, at 41, attempt a comeback with the Mets, the team he had scandalized in his book "Bad Stuff About The Mets."

Some excerpts, in Chico's words:

 "Tom Seaver always take up two parking space . . . "

"Yogi Berra is bera, bera bad card player . . ."

" Ed Kranepool, he always borrow Chico's soap and never return it."

Sad but true this great player held back for expressing himself freely.

Another great player Pete "Hit King or Charlie Hustle" Rose is another individual that should be in the hall of fame, but that is a topic of another post

Don't forget tonight USA vs. Venezuela at 7:00 p.m. gona be a bera bera goot game !

Funny that you mention that, I as former president of his fan club we would get many fan letters stating his similarities to Sam Kinison.

Old Chico would put his hands out, smile and say yes, yes, yes bera good lookin lika me yes, yes, yes

Let me tell you what the USA pulled off was no easy task.

Being in a hostile foreign (Miami) territory and winning on Saturday and then again Sunday was as close to a miracle as I have ever seen

Saturday 9 to 7 win vs Venezuela with probably 70% of that stadium full of south, central Americans and Caribbean population was amazing

Sundays blow out of Cuba 14-2 with a sold out crowd and that crowd being close to 90% mostly again Hispanic and Caribbean decent was phenomenal  !

Now what I don't understand is why security was searching everyone, taking away water bottles, snacks, vuvuzelas, horns etc.

But not the big conga drums. These conga drums can be hurled down into the crowd and probably knock out half the bleachers .

Living dangerously, scary moments in MIA

Coming up Wednesday USA vs Japan or Mexico.....going to be a great one
