Who were the key pieces for the assembly of the Caribbean Series? What are your merits so that everything went well?
VALENTIN CONTRERAS: He is a long-time athlete, currently personal assistant to the president of Lidom, Vitelio Mejía. He is a kind of “solve everything”, although he has specific functions. He can coordinate everything related to the Covid 19 protocol and other family members, and can even deal with the messes that arise in the play in an important series like this one. He is a utility guy because he plays all the bases.
SATOSKY TERRERO: He faced the difficult task of organizing and directing a press department for an international event, which is not so simple. It requires dedication, many hours of work, in order to maintain the quality of the service. His team did not respond well, and the country did well in that line: good broadcast booths, internet, good press room, coffee area and small cafeteria upstairs, downstairs dining room with lunch and free dining room, and also a press room for interviews . . In addition, security helped by controlling the press on the field, no access to dugout or clubhouse, due to the covid, and leaving the field half an hour before the game. Congratulations to Satosky and his team.
GARY BAUTISTA: Your company Cobausa was given the job of renovating the Quisqueya stadium, and it seems they did a good job. The stadium was cleaner than ever, although it still faces the problem of small bathrooms.. The works in the front of the park were also successful, and they must hurry to correct things for the next tournament, such as placing a TV in the lobby and lights in the parking lots. A basic contribution was the purchase of a new Led lighting system, which changed the transmission of the matches, sharpness of the image and photography.
LUIS ABINADER: Of course, President Luis Abinader deserves praise for having arranged the investment in this stadium. If it was 130 million or 200 million, that is the subject of other instances, and in a country where there is talk of a billion for any little road, doing that in favor of baseball is little. Good investment, for an excellent event. The only thing that Abinader is criticized for is that he did not make an appearance in any of the games. Why? Tomorrow I will continue with other leaders, positively
A LITTLE MORE: There are other names and relevant cases that I want to highlight, that’s why I’ll continue in tomorrow’s column…. A positive aspect of the transmission of the matches was the setting up of an adequate structure. There was a pre-show and a post-game, which gave it a different nuance to what is traditionally done. They also gave opportunity to many narrators and commentators, which was handled with a democratic criterion… That, despite the fact that these games were a perfect platform for some of them to expose in style the hateful greetings and excessive praise to fans ys sponsors.- What is called “narcissism” also had a great space. Do you know what that is?… The international press was satisfied in every way, as well as the journalists who came from the interior, from all cities that have baseball teams. Many did not know each other, and they had the opportunity to share..
BOMB: Mendy López jr. He declared yesterday, in La Hora del Deporte, that he would not accept a position as manager of the Licey. And why? He says that the “tirria” between Aguilas and Licey was and continues to be too great, and that if he assumes that position he would hurt many people. I, in particular, did not know that it was so strong. Look for the video on the youtube account, but take it as a diversion..If Licey offered it, the man might change his mind..
REALLY? Jasson Dominguez is a super rookie from the New York Yankees who is coming, maybe in a couple of years or sooner… They are already marketing his name, and an auction sold his postcard for 474 thousand dollars… It will be archived, or placed in a bank safe, until 15 years from now, to see what has happened to the boy… Can you believe it? That’s like 27 million pesos.
