Los Arizona Diamondbacks ganaron su primer título divisional desde 2007.Este viernes sentenciaron la serie ante los campeones San Francisco Giants y se quedaron con la División Oeste de la Liga Nacional.
Bajo el mando del manager Kirk Gibson, en su primer año, Arizona sorprendió tras una temporada 2010 para el olvido.
La alegría invadió a toda la novena, que decidió darse un chapuzón en el mismo estadio, en la piscina del Chase Field.
Evidentemente el letrero de "No clavados" fue ignorado.
FLUSHING, Nueva York (VIP-WIRE).-
"La política es el arte de sacar de una situación determinada el mejor partido posible para uno mismo"... Maurice Barrés.-
-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-
La más famosa Ley de Arizona puede ser racista, horrible, dañina, de mal aspecto, de peor olor y horrible sabor... pero no le hace ningún daño al beisbol. Ni los peloteros la conocen, ni a ellos les importa.Y no digo que la tal Ley sea buena o sea mala. Esa no es mi misión.
Cuando regresen los Dodgers a su casa, el lunes primero de junio, con los Diamondbacks de visita, Manny puede entrenar con los demás peloteros, pero al comenzar los juegos está obligado a abandonar el terreno.

Se trata del tercera base Emilio Bonifacio, quien es uno de los motivos que pusieron al equipo floridiano a gannar 10 de sus primeros 11 juegos.
Más de la mitad de los fanáticos del beisbol que adquirían boletos para toda la temporada (unos 300 mil), no van a comprarlos este año debido a la crisis.
"Tengo mi trabajo, como asistente, en un bufete de abogados de Manhattan" dijo para AOL-Latino Dom P. Snyder, estudiante de derecho de 22 años, "y desde hace cuatro años compro mi entrada para los 81 juegos de los Mets. Este año no. Sigo en mi puesto, pero no sé hasta cuándo. Tengo que rebajar mis gastos, y lo primero que he cortado ha sido eso".
Los Diamondbacks han despedido a 31 trabajadores, incluído el que hacía de mascota, Dave Hamilton.
