2011 Yeraly Event Callendar Puerto Rico 2011 Yearly Event Calendar January - Puerto Rico Baseball Season - November/December/January Puerto Rican professional teams compete at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan and in other parks throughout the island. - Festival de la Calle de San Sebastían This festival sponsored by the Institute for Puerto Rican Culture, take place in San Sebastian street for three days, celebrating Puerto Rican culture with a full program of parades, folkloric dances, music, food and crafts. San Juan - Dia de los Reyes Three Kings Day is the traditional gift-giving holiday on the island, commemorates the day that the three Wise Men brought gifts to the Christ child. In La Fortaleza the governor honors the tradition by handing out gifts to island children. Forget Santa Claus! In Puerto Rico, as in much of the Latin world, the Three Kings rule the Christmas season. Puerto Ricans celebrate December 25, but the most important day of the season falls on January 6, El Día de los Tres Reyes Magos, or Three Kings Day. A typical island tradition calls for children to gather grass and place it in a box at the foot of their beds, so that the camels of the Three Kings will have something to eat when they come to visit. While it is a revered holiday throughout Puerto Rico, nobody does Three Kings Day quite like the small, southern town of Juana Diaz, who’s Three Kings tour the island before making the voyage home. February - Carnaval de Ponce - Devilish vejigantes patrol the streets in their masks and colorful costumes at Ponce's annual carnival. Lively street parades and parties provide the final chance to celebrate before the long period of solemnity throughout Lent. Get involved in the street parties where the vejigantes whack people with their vejigas - harmless air-filled and colorfully painted animal bladders. There is good-natured chaos as people try to get away. The climax of the festival comes on Shrove Tuesday when, to mark the beginning of Lent and the consequent period of abstinence and fasting, the Entierro de la Sardina (Funeral of the Sardine) takes place.

  • Sports News Roundup Jan. 28
    Sports News Roundup Jan. 28 Baseball The team of Pinar del Río to represent Cuba at the upcoming Caribbean Baseball Series will be championed today at the western territory, saluting the 162nd anniversary of the birth of national hero José Martí. Under the command of Alfonso Urquiola, the selection of 28 players observes a brief training period at Pinar del Rio's Capitan San Luis Baseball Stadium, on the eve of its departure to the Puerto Rican city of San Juan on January 31st, venue of the Caribbean Classic from February 2nd to 8th. Composed of 3 catchers, 9 infielders, 7 outfielders and 9 pitchers, the staff will be Cuba's trump card in its 2nd consecutive participation in these Series, again as a guest country. The Cuban team will debut on February 2nd against Mexico, the next day will rival Dominican Republic, then will collide with the host, to close the qualifying phase on the 5th of February, facing Venezuela. The first 4 places will play crossed semifinals on Saturday 7th, and the winners of those matches will star the Grand Final on Sunday the 8th, as the remaining challenges, at the Hiram Bithorn Stadium in the Puerto Rican capital.

He concluded that, “What is actu- ally being invaded here is America and its hold on its theoretical na- tional pastime. We’re not sure exactly when this happened—possi- bly while you were busy watching a Yankees-Red Sox game—but this isn’t just America’s sport anymore. It is Latin America’s sport.” While it may not have gone that far yet, the presence of Latino players in baseball, especially in Major League Baseball, has grown enormously. In 1990, the Racial and Gender Report Card recorded that 13 percent of MLB players were Latino. In the 2009 MLB Racial and Gender Report Card, 27 percent of the players were La- tino. The all-time high was 29.4 percent in 2006. Teams from South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean enter the World Baseball Classic with superstar MLB players on their ros- ters. Stark wrote, “The term, ‘baseball game,’ won’t be adequate to describe it. These games will be practically a cultural symposium— where we provide the greatest Latino players of our time a monstrous stage to demonstrate what baseball means to them, versus what baseball now means to us.” American youth have an array of sports to play besides base- ball, including soccer, basketball, football, and hockey.

    Park Elevation and Long Ball Flight in Major League Baseball by Jason M. Bloch ‘07 Kieran M. Coe ‘07 James K. Ebberson ‘07 Paul M. Sommers July 2005 MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE ECONOMICS DISCUSSION PAPER NO. 05-14 DEPARTMENT OF ECONOMICS MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE MIDDLEBURY, VERMONT 05753 http://www.middlebury.edu/~econ 2 Park Elevation and Long Ball Flight in Major League Baseball by Jason M. Bloch ‘07 Kieran M. Coe ‘07 James K. Ebberson ‘07 Paul M. Sommers Department of Economics Middlebury College Middlebury, Vermont 05753 [email protected] 3 Park Elevation and Long Ball Flight in Major League Baseball Are ballparks at higher elevations more receptive to home run hitters? Three stadiums (Atlanta’s Turner Field, Arizona’s Bank One Ballpark, and Colorado’s Coors Field) are all over 1000 feet above sea level. If the thinner air at higher altitudes really matters, then high elevation ballparks should be relatively easy places in which to hit a home run. The purpose of this brief note is to test whether or not there is a relationship between the number of home runs hit by a home team’s opponents and the ballpark’s elevation above sea level, after accounting for differences in field dimensions. Table 1 gives the approximate elevation of the ballpark (measured in feet above sea level), the three dimensions along the left field foul line, to center field, and down the right field line (in feet), and the total number of home runs hit by visiting teams at each ballpark between 2002 and 2004. [We excluded the Montreal Expos, now the Washington Nationals, who before their move to the nation’s capital played 22 (21) “home” games in 2004 (2003) at Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan, Puerto Rico.] All data are from The Sporting News [1].

    ISSN 2373–874X (online) 017-01/2016EN Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp Orlando Alba 1 Topic: Spanish language and participation of Spanish-American players in Major League Baseball. 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 © Orlando Alba Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish-American Stamp Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 017-01/2016EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR017-01/2016EN 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.

Through my research I have found that both entities follow a very similar timeline with highs and lows coming around the same time in the same province; although, I have not found any direct linkage between the two. My analysis begins around 1837 and continues through present day, and by analyzing the histories of each movement demonstrates clearly that both movements followed a unique and similar timeline.

  • Mardi Gras & Carnaval Traditions
    Mardi Gras & Carnaval Traditions: What do you already know? Vs. Mardi Gras Carnaval In the European Christian tradition, the word "carnaval" has been linked to the idea of "good bye to the flesh", referring to the 40 days of Lent. Hint: Think of the meaning of the Spanish word, “carne” During this time, Catholics were prescribed not to eat meat according to the traditional religious precepts. Therefore, the days preceding Lent became a period of abandon and indulging. The celebration becomes an escape to the pressure and to the rigidity of religious tradition. This year, Ash Wednesday falls on__. Therefore, most Mardi Gras and Carnival parades and festivities will occur the on the days leading up to __, which is considered “Fat Tuesday” in the Mardi Gras tradition. Masks •Masks, or “máscaras ,” have the power to transform those who wear them. When one wears a mask, there is a transformation into someone different. •Masks not only change the people wearing them, but also those who interact with them. • The most ancient masks were used to represent supernatural spirits or to let us contact higher beings whom we believe may influence our lives. “Carnaval” in the Dominican Republic What you see in the hands of these Dominicans during a “Carnaval” parade are dried out cow bladders. The Spanish word for bladder is, “vejiga.” The tradition is to fill the cow bladders with stones and to smash them over small childrens’ heads when they least expect it. The Vejigante of Puerto Rico The Vejigante (bay-he- GAHN-tay) is a fantastic, colorful character introduced into carnival celebrations in Puerto Rico hundreds of years ago.
