It's the first regular-season Major League action in Puerto Rico since 2010, with FS1 broadcasting Tuesday's game and ESPN airing Wednesday's game. Both games will also be available on MLB.TV. Indians shortstop Francisco Lindor, a native of Caguas, is a two-time All-Star looking to make an impact in front of sold-out crowds at the stadium, while the Twins counter with left fielder Eddie Rosario, who is from Guayama and is coming off a breakout year that saw him rack up 27 homers and 33 doubles. Cleveland catcher Roberto Perez hails from Mayaguez but won't be behind the plate until Wednesday, while Minnesota right-hander Jose Berrios, a Bayamon native, gets the start on Wednesday opposite right-hander Carlos Carrasco. "Fans are going to go crazy," Rosario said. "Everyone is going to cry and be so happy. It's going to be so much fun." Lindor, one of baseball's biggest rising stars, figures to get a hero's welcome at the stadium where he grew up watching games before he moved to Florida as a teenager. "I have said many times that playing in Puerto Rico is a dream come true," Lindor said. "I can't wait to take the field in front of the fans in my homeland. I'm sure it is going to be a moment that I'll never forget." Along with seeing some of their players lifted emotionally by returning home, the Indians and Twins are doing their part to help those affected by Hurricane Maria, which hit Puerto Rico hard in September. Berrios and many of his teammates visited patients at San Jorge Children's Hospital in San Juan on Sunday night, while the Indians decided to donate a full postseason share from last year to Nuestra Escuela, a high school in Caguas. Tuesday features a strong pitching matchup led by two-time Cy Young Award winner Corey Kluber (1-1, 1.57 ERA), while the Twins will start right-hander Jake Odorizzi (1-0, 2.20 ERA), who is off to a strong start since being traded from the Rays in Spring Training. "I'm excited," Odorizzi said. "It might be a hostile crowd when you're facing the local guys, but that's OK. This is going to be a really cool event." Weather has affected both clubs early in the season, as the Twins haven't played since Thursday, while the Indians saw their games on Saturday and Sunday postponed. Cleveland originally had Josh Tomlin slated to start on Wednesday, but Carrasco will take the mound instead, while the Twins made sure to get Berrios a start in Puerto Rico despite several members of the rotation, such as Lance Lynn and Kyle Gibson, getting extended breaks because of the postponed games. Berrios has looked like an ace in the early going with a shutout in his first outing and 11 strikeouts in his last outing against the White Sox on Thursday. "I'm extremely anxious right now," Berrios said. "I get to step on the mound in front of my fans and my family and my country, and I'm looking forward to it." Perez will also get the chance the play in front of his home fans on Wednesday when he catches Carrasco. And Indians first base coach Sandy Alomar Jr. also gets the opportunity to go home as well. "For Frankie, Roberto and Sandy, it will be really special," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "Again, you've got to remember that they're not exhibition games, because sometimes you get [distracted] in that atmosphere. But, I think it's good for baseball, and I think our guys will enjoy it." 'A lot of emotion': Rosario visits his PR school Rhett Bollinger | MLB.com | April 16, 2018 GUAYAMA, Puerto Rico -- As Twins left fielder Eddie Rosario stepped out of a black SUV onto familiar ground at his old high school on Monday, he was greeted by those who helped shape him as a youngster growing up in Puerto Rico. Rosario, visiting Escuela Dr. Rafael Lopez Landron for the first time in seven years as part of Major League Baseball's "Players Going Home" initiative, immediately gave a big hug to the school's principal, Edna Rodriguez Alvarez, who served as his English teacher in summer school. There was also his youth baseball coach, Alfredo Ortiz Martinez, who greeted Rosario with a leaping forearm bump before embracing each other. It was quite the scene for Rosario, who was able to thank those who helped him reach the Major Leagues and also met with current students, including 75 who participated in a baseball clinic with Rosario at a local baseball field near the high school. It's all leading up the Puerto Rico series between the Twins and Indians, which begins on Tuesday night at Hiram Bithorn Stadium. "There's a lot of emotion right here," Rosario said. "Tomorrow, I want to try to have fun every moment. I know I'll remember this moment for all my life. I'll remember everything." Those who knew Rosario best growing up could tell he had that special something, as he possessed more than just natural talent. He was a hard worker who remained coachable and respectful because he grew up in a tight-knit family with deep roots in Guayama, which is about 75 minutes south of San Juan. "He was unique," said Martinez, who coached him on the Rangers from ages 4-12. "Since he was a little kid, you could tell he was going to be a big leaguer. He had a baseball sense. He was so disciplined. He was just a very nice kid. Whatever we told him, he'd go. The most important thing was his parents always supported him and were at every game." Of course, Rosario had plenty of talent, including a strong throwing arm he's since shown off in left field, leading the league in outfield assists with 12 as a rookie in 2015. He played both shortstop and center field growing up, but also pitched in big games, although he mostly scared the opposing teams when he was on the mound. "You had to be careful when he was pitching," Martinez said. "Because he had such great speed in his pitches, we were worried that if he hit one kid, the other eight kids wouldn't want to hit." Of course, Rosario's upbringing involved more than just baseball, as he pointed to the classrooms where he was taught English and Spanish as a high schooler. Rosario has worked hard at becoming a better English speaker and conducted interviews at the school on Monday in both languages, which impressed the school's principal. "It's great to see him," said Alvarez, who presented him with a commemorative plaque to mark the occasion. "Being able to watch him express himself in English, I was part of that. Everybody loves him." It's evident that Rosario is beloved in his hometown, as he's the most successful baseball player from the area and he continues to give back to his 2 community. Rosario made two different trips back to his home island in the offseason as part of the Hurricane Maria recovery efforts, going door to door to bring supplies to those in need, especially in the mountainous region that didn't have access to safe roads or water. "The people were so desperate and so excited when he brought help with supplies, food and all those things," Eddie's father said. "Everyone was so happy to see him. People were so grateful. People were crying. I was crying. People were so desperate." The hurricane damage forced Eddie Sr. and the family to move in December to Orlando, Fla., which is where Rosario spends his offseasons with his wife, Milany, and their three young children.

    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.

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
    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].
