Mi mama “Milagros” lo mas grande que tengo en mi vida. Gracias a Dios cuando mama llego a Estados UNIDOs le entregue mi apartamento y una targeta y siempre le he dicho que puede gastar lo que ella quiera. Mama gasta 30-40 dolares y me llama o me manda un mensaje “mijo revisa la targeta, gaste esto. Y yo digo, pero para que me dices eso mama. Y me dice “mijo tienes que ahorrar el dinero” “no sabes que pase con el boxeo” “estas comenzando tus negocios” tienes que cuidar lo que tienes. Desde niño he visto hemos sido personas humildes en mi casa y nunca no hemos creido mas que nadie. ESO se aprende en casa. Estoy bendecido con la madre que Dios me dio. Ella es la verdadera campeona. Que Dios y nuestras cosas la bendigan y le den muchos años de vida y salud.

"Satchel Paige had a very, very good fastball...... But the first time I faced Satchel, he threw me a little breaking ball, just to see what I could do, and I hit it off the top of the fence. I got a double. When I got to second, Satchel told the third baseman: 'Let me know when that little boy comes back up.' Three innings later, I go to kneel down in the on-deck circle, and I hear the third baseman say: 'There he is.' Satch looked at the third baseman, and then he looked at me. I walk halfway to home plate and he says: 'Little boy.' I say, 'Yes, sir?' because Satch was much older than I am, so I was trying to show respect. He walked halfway to home plate and said: 'Little boy, I'm not going to trick you. I'm going to throw you three fastballs and you're going to go sit down' and I'm saying in my mind: 'I DOOON'T THINK SOOOOOO. If he threw me three of the same pitch, I'm going to hit it somewhere. I turned to the catcher and asked: “What does he mean?” Catcher told me: “He’s going to throw you three fast balls. Nothing else.” He threw me two fastballs and I just swung..... I swung right through it..... And the third ball he threw, and I tell people this all the time, he threw the ball and as he let go he said: 'Go sit down.' This is while the ball was in the air. Yes, he struck me out with three pitches. He was just magnificent." 17 year old Willie Mays facing Satchel Paige for the first time.

Hey, Champ!

Thank you ❤️

The legacy and positive impact of Tony Cesay was too expansive to sum up in a few hundred words. That said, I did my best for this month’s issue of @BoxingNewsED R.I.P to a grass roots legend.x

With profound sorrow & deep respect, we honor the life and legacy of Lawrence N. Brooks, who passed away at the remarkable age of 112. As the oldest living ‘American World War II Veteran’ at the time of his passing, represents one of the final living links to this generation.

Mr Padre and his statue

1st Round of the 1982 MLB Draft

In 1992, Roger Ebert married Chaz Hammelsmith while friends raised quiet eyebrows and colleagues made their usual predictions. Nobody gave them five years. The years passed, and they proved everyone wrong. Then, in 2002, cancer arrived. Surgeries took his jaw, then his voice, and finally his ability to eat or drink. The man who had spent decades sharing his thoughts lost the very tools he had always relied on. Chaz stayed. She travelled with him to interviews, screenings, and public events. She read his notes aloud. She finished his sentences. For seven years, she became the voice he no longer had, quietly ensuring the world still heard what he wanted to say. Roger Ebert died on April 4, 2013. Chaz was holding his hand. He looked at her one last time and smiled. A colleague later said what Roger believed: Chaz didn’t just complete his sentences. She completed him. Many love when life is easy. Chaz loved through surgeries, setbacks, and years that tested them both. She stayed when ordinary life became impossible, showing up every day without asking for credit. Cancer took much from Roger. But it never took the person who kept showing up beside him. And in the end, that mattered more than anything else.
