Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE) – As usual, Wednesday is Mail Day. Remember to inform from which town or city you are writing. Thank you.

Pedro L. Vargas, from Coro, asks …: “How many cycles have been hit in the World Series, who is the bigleaguer with the most cycles in history, who with more in a season?”

Friend PeEle …: Until before last night’s game, nobody had hit the cycle in the World Series and only one in the playoffs, Brock Holt, of the Red Sox, against the Yankees, in 2018. In regular seasons, the record is three and He is tied by six players, John Reilly, Bob Meusel, Babe Herman, Adrián Beltré, Trea Turner and Jake Cronenworth. Nobody has more than one in a season.

The first in history was achieved by Curry Foley, in 1882.

See if it’s hard to come by, that 27 hitters have hit 500 or more home runs and 32 have hit three thousand or more hits, but, after about 23 thousand players have played up here, in 151 years of Major League Baseball, it has only 330 total cycles among all batters have been.

Eli Bastidas, from Lima, asks …: “Will Johán Santana, Francisco Rodríguez and Félix Hernández make it to the Cooperstown Hall of Fame?”

Friend Eli…: No.

Daniel Socorro, from Maracaibo, a professional poker player, sends me an emotional letter, telling me how he has read me since he was a child and has already turned 31 years old. By the way, he now competes in the World Series of poker in Las Vegas.

Friend Dano…: Thank you for so much loyalty to my lyrics, and I wish you the best of the best in Las Vegas.

Ángel Rosario, from Ciudad Bolívar, asks …: “Was the Gleyber Torres thing decisive for the Yankees not to have a better performance, as the general manager, Brian Cashman, said?”

Gelo friend …: As you already know, the shortstop position is one of the most important. And Gleyber couldn’t compete. He was not entirely to blame, but he was much of it.

Rúber Luzardo S. from Santa Bárbara del Zulia, asks…: “If Juan Vené stopped writing about baseball, what sport would he dedicate his column to?”.

Friend Rubo …: I believe that to write a column about a certain sport, the subject and its history must be known deeply, and a lifetime is not enough to acquire such knowledge. It has not been enough for me to know everything I want to know about baseball. So perhaps I would write about the animal kingdom.

Thanks to the life that has given me so much, even a reader like you.

Batear el ciclo es realmente difícil

“Si algo no engorda, no es comida, es dieta”… Alexandra Jiménez.-

-o-o-o-o-

Coral Gables, Florida (VIP-WIRE) – Como es costumbre, hoy miércoles, es Día del Correo. Recuerda informar desde cuál pueblo o ciudad escribes. Muchas gracias.

Pedro L. Vargas, de Coro, pregunta…: “¿Cuántos ciclos o escaleras, se han bateado en Series Mundiales, quién es el bigleaguer con más escaleras en la historia, quién con más en una temporada?”.

Amigo PeEle…: Hasta antes del juego de anoche, nadie había bateado el ciclo en Series Mundiales y uno solo en playoffs, Brock Holt, de los Medias Rojas, frente a los Yankees, en 2018. En temporadas regulares, el record son tres y lo tienen empatados seis peloteros, John Reilly, Bob Meusel, Babe Herman, Adrián Beltré, Trea Turner y Jake Cronenworth. Nadie tiene más de uno en una temporada.

El primero en la historia lo logró Curry Foley, en 1882.

Fíjate si es difícil de conseguir, que 27 bateadores han sacado 500 o más jonrones y 32 han disparado tres mil o más hits, pero, después que, cerca de 23 mil peloteros han jugado aquí arriba, en 151 años de Grandes Ligas, solo ha sido de 330 el total de los ciclos entre todos los bateadores.

Eli Bastidas, de Lima, pregunta…: “¿Johán Santana, Francisco Rodríguez y Félix Hernández podrán llegar al Hall de la Fama de Cooperstown?”.

Amigo Eli…: No.

Daniel Socorro, de Maracaibo, jugador profesional de póker, me envía emotiva carta, contando cómo me ha leído desde niño y ya ha cumplido 31 años. Por cierto, ahora compite en la Serie Mundial de póker en Las Vegas.

Amigo Dano…: Gracias por tanta fidelidad para con mis letras, y te deseo lo mejor de lo mejor en Las Vegas.

Ángel Rosario, de Ciudad Bolívar, pregunta…: “¿Lo de Gleyber Torres, fue determinante para que los Yankees no tuviesen un mejor desempeño, tal y como dijo el gerente-general, Brian Cashman?”.

Amigo Gelo…: Como ya sabes, la posición de shortstop es de las más importantes. Y Gleyber no pudo con ella. No tuvo toda la culpa, pero sí buena parte.
