Juan de J. Colmenares D. asks…: “I am a nephew of Alcides Delgado, can you tell me about when you invited him to your broadcasts from the Major League stadiums? And the season will start in April. How is the signing of free agents going?
Friend J.J… .: Alcides has been one of the best baseball and boxing storytellers in Latin America. Also, a fine gentleman, of refined home education. Your company in those days is one of my fondest memories… As for next year’s baseball, the news of the coronavirus vaccine is very optimistic. And the free agents thing is a year equal to all. They try to get the highest sum of money and the longest number of years on the contract. The owners have a lot of interest in the best players, and that is why they will be signed.

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