Un reconocimiento en su paso por las grandes ligas / A recognition of his time in the major leagues | ESP-ENG

The tributes are made in life they say, because no one after this earthly life can feel or perceive any kind of event they do in your name, to recognize a long and successful career in the great world of the glove, the bat and the ball, you do not have to have a professional career so relevant or so long to mark an era in a particular team, so that your name comes to light among fans and players as one of their favorites, It is that time that determines that you were made for that team and those seasons, that is why below I will talk a little of three players whose performance had an impact on each of their teams in which they played, some more than others, but for them to have been made such a tribute, had to have generated such an impact that was worthy of such recognition, let's start:

JOSÉ BAUTISTA

Not with hall of fame numbers, but with enough to win the hearts of fans in a distant northern country like Canada, specifically in the city of Toronto, the Dominican Jose Baustista came to the Toronto Blue Jays team to stay, because his newly adopted batting style at that time, resulted in seasons of more than 50 home runs, several consecutively, which generated in the blue team, developed a core of players of strength, which would reach the first places in the American League between 2008 and 2016.
His explosiveness and celebration at the time of making and finishing the swing got him into many problems with players from other teams, but more than one of those dantesque hits, catapulted the Toronto Blue Jays team to two consecutive American League championship finals, 2015 and 2016, He reaped very remarkable numbers in just over 8 seasons with Toronto, which despite not reaching hall of fame records, if they remained in the hearts of the fans, who to this day remember him as one of their best players, they were never champions with him in the field, but what he generated with his presence speaks for itself.

FÉLIX HERNÁNDEZ

From Toronto we go to Seattle, from the Dominican Republic we move to Venezuela, continuing in the Latin American wave, we will now talk about a pitcher whose performances were so impressive during 15 seasons with the Seattle Mariners that changed the way of seeing the game from the mound, how would this be? Yes, the Venezuelan Felix Hernandez is responsible for the fact that for some time now, the experts in this sport take into account more a quality start, than the final decision that could have a pitcher, to credit him with a victory or a defeat when recognizing or awarding the recognition to the best pitcher in the league, the quality starts consist in the fact that during the time that a certain pitcher is in a game, his team stays in the fight to win a game thanks to his performance.
All this brings us to the 2010 season when with a very unusual record considering it even negative of 13 wins and 12 losses, he wins the award for best pitcher in the American League, over other records more winning than him, with the difference that Felix, dominated the league in innings pitched and effectiveness, convincing many that he was the most dominant pitcher at that time, Taking as a reference the quality starts, most of his performances, consisted basically in that he made a good presentation but did not receive the offensive support of his teammates, being in most cases, defeats of only one run, harming him notably in the individual numbers of wins and losses, which for many years were taken into account at the time of delivering this award.

FERNANDO VALENZUELA

We go now to Mexico, the numbers and impact of this Mexican pitcher are perhaps the most notorious of the 3, although I only saw the last years of his great career, what he did in the 80's was the best of him, causing a stir in the city of Los Angeles with his outings, that was the cause of the Los Angeles Dodgers was a dominant ninth in that decade, he, the impulse to not only be good in the field, but that the stadium was always full precisely because of that, for being not good, but extraordinary.
That consisted of Fernando staying for almost always 9 complete innings in each presentation on the mound, a 9 of 9, this was called the ''Fernando Mania'' causing a sensation that only he could do, beyond that, Fernando possessed a repertoire of enviable pitches, with a combination of fast and broken pitches with movements, and his characteristic style of pitching in a very intense way, which led him to be called also: ''El Toro'' that, led him to win at a personal level countless records that earned him a Cy Young award, an award credited to the best pitcher in the league, a World Series championship and a no-hit, no-run game, all this without counting the accumulated innings pitched and the countless fanning to his credit.

ME SIENTO ORGULLOSO DE ESTA ÉPOCA DEL BEISBOL / I AM PROUD OF THIS ERA OF BASEBALL

The numbers of these three players are recent history, and their respective recognitions are more than deserved, except Valenzuela, Baustita and Hernandez are more contemporary, to see them begin and culminate their respective careers as baseball players is more than satisfying, because it means to be witnesses of achievements that tomorrow will be pure and alive history, and that we can tell and tell others that we could see all those performances in the front row.
To have seen a pitcher like Felix strike out more than 2500 batters is a luxury, to have been able to watch Baustista hit 150 home runs in a span of just 3 seasons is also something exceptional, and to remember the history of the best Mexican pitcher who has passed through MLB so far, of course it is also worth highlighting, Although his recognition comes a little late in time, it is never too late to recognize in life how great he was, ''El Rey'' Felix Hernandez and Jose Bautista, should be proud of how in just a short time after having retired, they are remembered and exalted to the hall of fame of their respective teams.

HASTA LA PRÓXIMA / SEE YOU NEXT TIME
