The Minnesota Target Field, new home of Kendry Morales, will host on July 15 the All Star game of the Major League Baseball (MLB). One edition that will not be any other, it will not be that cold dish that serves to slow the dry season and have a look at the stats and see how things are going, a meeting of luminaries who come to share with fellow countrymen and make a few jokes . Nope, this year’s edition of the All Star 85, for various reasons, will be different.
First of all, the primary reason to assert such a claim is that in this clash, in the two days of brash talent, Derek Jeter, one of the best shortstops in the history of major league, will participate in his last game of this type.
But if they have something to make Cubans happy, is not that the face of the Big Apple will say goodbye to the grounds, but because several Cubans have a chance to be aprt of the selection, since the performance of 4 of them has earned them to be ahead in the voting for the All Star game
Yasiel Puig, of the Los Angeles Dodgers, comes at the top of the list of outfielders in the National League and the count shows nearly 2 million votes, sticking a noticeable difference to his closest pursuer, Andrew McCutchen, of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Meanwhile, in the American League three other Cubans also opt for entry to the selection.
José Dariel Abreu, of the Chicago White Sox, is second in first base behind Miguel Cabrera. Pito, with its huge tournament start, the rookie who has shattered every record, has surpassed one million votes; still others would see him become part of the home run derby. His teammate Alexei Ramirez has seen a return on their statistics for the 1,568,620 votes fans have dedicated to him, second only to the legendary Derek Jeter and his farewell.
Another who has straightened his campaign is the Granma player of Oakland, Yoenis Cespedes, brand new winner of the homers derby last year. The slugger is in fourth seat in the wish list among outfielders trailing the likes of Melky Cabrera and Jose Bautista of the Toronto Blue Jays, and Mike Trout of the Angels of Anaheim.
