Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.

Marcano Trillo BASEBALL ARRIVES in VENEZUELA It Is Genera
MANNY TRILLO. AN OILFIELD BRED MAJOR LEAGUE HERO Jesús “El Indio” Marcano Trillo BASEBALL ARRIVES IN VENEZUELA It is generally accepted that baseball was first played in 1839 at Cooperstown, New York, located in the northern part of the state. Later the game crossed the borders to Canada, Mexico and the neighboring islands where leagues were started. Venezuelans students attending American schools brought the game to Caracas, the capital city and an American by the name of William Phelps, owner of a department store in 1912 to Maracaibo by then a major hub of the oil industry where many Americans resided. Baseball caught on and several ballparks were built. Around the same time Venezuelan players began playing in the leagues in Mexico, Cuba and Puerto Rico. In 1939 a Venezuelan pitcher Alex Carrasquel became the first native to play major league baseball for the Washington Senators. In 1950 his nephew Chico Carrasquel became a star with the Chicago White Sox., in 1956 he was replaced by Luis Aparicio, so far the only Venezuelan to reach the Baseball Hall of Fame. Back in 1941 an important event highlighted Venezuela baseball when the National team won the World Amateur Championship in Havana beating Cuba in the final game. Upon their return home the players were welcomed as heroes at the Caracas seaport and thus baseball became Venezuela's unquestionable main sport. Years later then many Venezuelans have been active stars in most of the MLB teams. Besides Aparicio names like Vizquel, Johann Santana, Galarraga, Cabrera, Altuve and Trillo, the subject of this story.

Estimated Age Effects in Baseball
Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports Volume 4, Issue 1 2008 Article 1 Estimated Age Effects in Baseball Ray C. Fair, Yale University Recommended Citation: Fair, Ray C. (2008) "Estimated Age Effects in Baseball," Journal of Quantitative Analysis in Sports: Vol. 4: Iss. 1, Article 1. DOI: 10.2202/1559-0410.1074 ©2008 American Statistical Association.

Fair Abstract Age effects in baseball are estimated in this paper using a nonlinear fixed-effects regression. The sample consists of all players who have played 10 or more "full-time" years in the major leagues between 1921 and 2004. Quadratic improvement is assumed up to a peak-performance age, which is estimated, and then quadratic decline after that, where the two quadratics need not be the same. Each player has his own constant term. The results show that aging effects are larger for pitchers than for batters and larger for baseball than for track and field, running, and swimming events and for chess. There is some evidence that decline rates in baseball have decreased slightly in the more recent period, but they are still generally larger than those for the other events. There are 18 batters out of the sample of 441 whose performances in the second half of their careers noticeably exceed what the model predicts they should have been. All but 3 of these players played from 1990 on.
